What is this Waste Disposal Contract for?
A business involved in waste collection and disposal can usefully use this waste disposal contract. While fairly balanced, it is written from the contractor’s, rather than the client’s, point of view.
What are the main issues?
A waste disposal contract is a fairly practical document and it covers scope of services, frequency of collection, contract duration and fees.
Specific issues include
- the contractor’s duties with regard to recycling, shredding of confidential data and other disposal
- the client’s duties with regard to hours of access to its premises for waste collection, ensuring that waste containers do not include inappropriate material – e.g. metal objects in a paper recycling bin
- liability and insurance – this can cover liability of the contractor at the client’s property as well as when waste material is in transit
- complaints procedure: it is useful to have a system per written notices if the client has any problem with the contractor’s workforce etc.
What detailed terms does the contract contain?
There is a one-page form of agreement, a set of terms and conditions and a schedule which will specify details of the services, charges, frequency of services and of payment etc.
The main points cover:
- definitions & interpretation
- provision of services
