Sharon,
My municipal contract has about 2 pages of language related to circumstances
which would require the payment of liquidated damages, including if misses
of residential pickups exceed more than 3 per day and thirty per month.
Excedences cost them $25 per instance. In contract negotiations I did
proffer that I'd use this hammer only if need be, when other less dramatic
efforts didn't get their attention. In the first 18 months of this contract
I have never had to even reference this language.
I'm especially happy with the way our contract is working, by the way, as my
previous contract had no such damages, and we were completely at the
contractor's mercy.
If you'd like, I could fax you those pages, and it would save substantial
typing.

Here are some questions for anybody out there who is on either end of a
municipal recycling contract: does your contract include liquidated
damages for missed recycling collection? If so, at what point do these
damages kick in? In other words, are damages paid if X number of accounts
are missed, or if Y percent of accounts are missed? What are the X and/or
Y in your contract? Are missed accounts counted per day, per week, per
some other period?
Thanks,
