Composting Agreement

As a condition of receiving a compost certification I, the undersigned, have read all the enclosed materials and hereby acknowledge and agree to the following:

All compost piles will be tended and managed in a controlled manner.
Meats, fats, dairy products and grains will not be added to compost.
If compost begins to generate unpleasant odors, attract pests, or becomes a public nuisance, I am responsible for controlling this problem within a reasonable amount of time by modifying management practices.
If problems are not corrected within the time period required by the City, I understand that I will no longer be eligible for a composting certification exemption and the charge for yard debris will be added back to my solid waste bill, and that I can not apply for a composting certification for one year.
If I am approved, the hauler will place the "WE COMPOST" decal on my garbage can so that it is visible from the street.
If yard debris is placed out for collection as part of the yard debris recycling program, or is found in my garbage can, I understand that the charge for yard debris will be added back onto my monthly solid waste bill and I can not apply for a composting exemption for one year.
Application processing fees are not refundable. The fee covers the application review and compost inspection. I understand that my application for exemption may be denied.
Once approved, the monthly rate I pay will be for garbage only. I understand that the monthly rate I pay may be adjusted when rates are adjusted.
The compost certification and credit is not transferable to another customer or property.
