Heavy Bins Sample Clauses

Heavy Bins. Heavy bins will not be collected, as they pose a threat to the health and safety of operatives and of potential damage to bins, lifting equipment or compaction equipment The definition of ‘heavy’ cannot be explicit, as each case depends upon the circumstances prevailing at the time. In the event of a bin being considered too heavy by a loader, the driver will report the matter direct to the supervisor, who will make an assessment. If agreed, the bin will remain uncollected, with a suitable notice attached and hotline staff notified. Client staff will need to inform the resident of the problem to reduce the weight in the bin before the following week’s collection.
