What happens if a waste is delivered and it is 'non-conforming'? - In the event of Greyhound receiving waste material which does not conform to that agreed with the waste producer, Greyhound will handle that material as is deemed appropriate
- The waste producer will be advised of non-conforming material acceptance. Additional costs associated with unscheduled handling and processing may be passed on to the waste producer. In all cases, Greyhound will supply photographs to the offending company for verification purposes.
Source-segregated Waste Streams - an overview
- Source-segregated cardboard, plastic or paper at the point of collection
- In the event that the material quality does not comply with contamination limits, Greyhound’s collection personnel will reject the material and inform the waste producer to re-bale the material in to clean bales
- Waste producers should contact their account manager if they have difficulties with re-balin
- Greyhound will only collect contaminated bales if reclassified as mixed waste. In this case the collection personnel will record ‘contaminated’ on the collection docket before the waste producer signs it. The additional cost associated with unscheduled handling and processing will be passed on to the waste producer.
