Those customers who live north of Foothill Boulevard may obtain a 90-gallon certified bear-resistant solid waste container upon signing a three-year agreement with the person having a contract or franchise for the provision of such services for service using the bear-resistant solid waste container.
(A) The person having a contract or franchise for the provision of such services may charge the customer a monthly fee per bear-resistant container, in addition to the monthly 90-gallon service rate, for the 36-month term of the agreement. Upon completion of the 36-month agreement, the person having a contract or franchise for the provision of such services will continue to service the bear-resistant container, but at the regular 90-gallon service rate. Monthly fees will be specified in the agreement between the city and the person having a contract or franchise for the provision of such services.
(B) If a customer is not currently at a 90-gallon trash service level, the service level will be increased to the current 90-gallon service rate as established in the exclusive residential solid waste franchise agreement.
(C) The customer must unlock the bear-resistant container prior to service. The customer may elect to have the person having a contract or franchise for the provision of such services unlock their container on collection day for an additional monthly service charge per bear-resistant container.
(D) If a customer is dissatisfied with the bear-resistant container, the customer will have 30 days after delivery of the container to return the container to the person having a contract or franchise for the provision of such services, provided the container is in good working condition. The person having a contract or franchise for the provision of such services shall remedy the customer's dissatisfaction or, if it cannot be remedied, will cancel the 36-month contract. The person having a contract or franchise for the provision of such services shall retrieve the container upon customer request.
(E) Broken or damaged bear-resistant containers will be replaced by the person having a contract or franchise for the provision of such services upon request of a customer.
(F) Any debris spilled from wildlife on private property or within the public right-of-way is the responsibility of the customer for remediation.
