1. DEFINITIONS
a. Acceptable Waste or Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) shall mean all non -hazardous solid
waste generated by households and discarded papers, cardboard, plastics, cloth, glass, and
metal materials, but excluding Unacceptable Waste as defined herein. Waste shall be

commingle Recyclable Materials with Acceptable Waste placed in 96 -gallon toters.
Title to Acceptable Waste shall transfer to Contractor upon collection in Contractor
vehicles.
b. Yard Waste or Dry Trash shall mean leaves, yard clippings, paper, straw, loose yard -care
