2.2 If additional costs are incurred by the TAS through the delivery of inappropriate waste, such as for the disposal of waste that is not in line with specifications, contaminants (including disinfection, if necessary) or firefighting operations, these will be charged to the deliverer.

3.1 Opening times for delivery are as follows: Monday – Friday 7 am - 5 pm.

3.2 If so required, waste can be delivered at other times after prior agreement. Information on this is available from the Waste Management Logistics department.

3.5 Particular attention must be paid when driving into the manoeuvring and tipping areas.

3.6 When reversing vehicles on the premises of the TAS, it must be ensured that no one is endangered.

The driver of the vehicle is responsible for compliance with this safety regulation.

3.7 Any contamination that is caused in the tipping area when unloading the waste must be removed by the deliverer.

3.8 All vehicles that transport waste must be weighed on the company's weighing machine. When driving onto the machine, drivers must follow the instructions of the personnel and the traffic light system located there.

6.3 Each deliverer assumes full guarantee that the waste delivered fulfils the conditions of acceptance required by the TAS in each given case. The deliverer is liable even without fault in the case of damage caused by delivery of waste that is excluded from delivery or for which it turns out that it has harmful effects on persons or objects when stored and incinerated. Furthermore, each deliverer is liable for any damage caused to persons or objects of the TAS, their employees or agents.

The weights of the waste are determined by the TAS calibrated weighing machine.
