1. Collection: Collection of MSW takes place weekly on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. All trash must be in bags, except for cardboard as long as it is broken down to 2′ x 2′ or smaller and neatly bundled. Each household is limited to five 40-pounds-or-less bags per week without the orange Brewer trash tags. Residents can put out more than 5 bags by placing a $2.00 orange Brewer trash tag on each bag over the 5-bag limit. The City sells the trash tags at its City Hall, Library, and online. 2. Holiday Collection Policy: Holiday collection is shifted by one day if there is a major holiday during the collection week. So, for example, collection is provided to residents on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday during the week of Labor Day, since Labor Day is on a Monday. It would be the City’s preference to continue providing service in this manner. 3. Flow Control: The City’s solid waste ordinance (Attachment B) includes language for flow control. As such, the Contractor must provide collection services that include delivery of the collected MSW materials to the City’s designated disposal site. As a Municipal Review Committee (MRC) member, designated disposal sites in the Bangor region have most recently included Juniper Ridge Landfill and the Municipal Waste Solutions facility in Hampden. The Contractor will be expected to transport collected waste to a designated disposal site within a 20 air-mile radius of Brewer City Hall. Should the designated disposal site exceed this distance, the City and the Contractor reserve the right to renegotiate the terms of the agreement.
