If particular Commercial/Industrial Premises require Collections at times, frequencies or in a manner such that the Authorized Collector operating in accordance with a Collection Agreement is unable to perform the Collection in the normal course of business, or where unusual quantities of Solid Waste or special types of material are to be collected and disposed of, or where special methods of handling are required, or where the quantity of Solid Waste requires the use of multiple (more than three) Containers, the Authorized Collector and the Commercial/Industrial Business Owner may make arrangements for such Collection on mutually agreeable terms. If the business owner and the Authorized Collector do not agree as to the methods for the service provided for in this Section, the City shall determine the method of service. If the Authorized Collector is unable or unwilling to provide such service, the City may authorize the business owner to use another Authorized Collector for such special service until the Authorized Collector can provide such service in its normal course of business.
