The contractor shall reduce the attraction of predators through proper management of the refuse. All dumpster shall be regularly inspected and emptied to prevent spillage and maintain sanitary conditions. The dumpsters shall have self-closing lids to prevent wind, common ravens, and mammals from opening the containers.

Although the Government identified specific dumpsters to use, if there is an alternate way or equipment to satisfy the Government¿s minimum requirement, you may propose an alternate innovative method or equipment for consideration. The contractor shall be responsible for picking up any/all refuse that is on the ground and within a 25-foot radius of the dumpsters. Refuse shall not remain on the ground, within a 25-foot radius of the dumpsters, for longer than 3 hours.

The contractor shall be responsible for properly and legally disposing of all items in the and around the dumpsters. Examples of items that may require special disposal are, but not limited to the following: tires, oil, batteries, RV awnings, or white materials (i.e. small appliances).
