All distributed Containers shall be clearly labeled with City-approved artwork.

The Contractor shall thoroughly inspect and relabel Containers with worn, faded, ripped, outdated, or otherwise noncompliant labels within one hundred twenty (120) Days of the Date of Commencement of Service with City-approved and Contractor-provided labels. Labels shall be applied squarely and shall cover any incorrect information due to changes in services. Labels shall be replaced when faded, damaged, or upon the City or Customer request. Should any changes be made to the Garbage, Recycling, or Compostables collection program that affect the labels, the Contractor at their sole expense shall reproduce and reaffix labels on all Containers. The City may, at its option, provide labels to the Contractor to be affixed on Containers. The City shall reimburse the Contractor the cost of applying the City’s labels.
