Contracts and Franchise Agreements
These examples and best practices relate to provisions that local governments can incorporate into their contract or franchise agreements with waste haulers (service providers). They correspond to strategy #46 (Service Provider Contract and Franchise Agreement Incentives or Requirements) in the Planning Tool and can be used by local governments interested in moving towards high diversion or zero waste or by local governments that already have a zero-waste goal.
