After cleaning, allow bins to dry completely before reuse. � Provide a 48-hour turnaround for repairs or replacements: o If a bin is cracked, lid is broken, or wheels are damaged, the contractor must either repair it on-site or swap in a replacement unit within 48 hours of notification. o Replacement bins or containers must meet the same specifications (240 L capacity, durable construction, labeling) as the originals. � Include odor-control measures: o If any bin emits strong odors between scheduled cleanings, the contractor must swap out that bin for a cleaned unit within 24 hours. o Store cleaning supplies onsite in a locked cabinet with clear labeling. 4.3 General Electronics, Printer Cartridges & Batery Disposal 4.3.1 Single Collection Container � Provide one weather-resistant container suitable for outside storage that accommodates general electronics (e.g., desktop computers, laptops, servers, monitors, printers, keyboards, cables), printer cartridges (ink and toner), and batteries (lead-acid, lithium-ion, NiMH, etc.). � The container must be: o Durable: Constructed of sturdy materials to prevent damage from rain, sun, and pests. o Clearly Labeled: Display a single label reading �Electronics, Cartridges & Batteries Only,� o Adequately Sized: Large enough to hold typical quarterly volumes until collection.
