picked up. In this case, the technician may choose to bag up any
trash/recyclables from the bins into a new clean heavy duty bag. The bins will be
cleaned, and the clean trash bag may be reinserted into the clean bins to then be
picked up by the customer’s waste hauler.
If A Happy Bin is unable to provide its service(s) on the scheduled day due to
inclement weather, vehicle maintenance, unforeseen events or otherwise, it will
make every attempt to notify the customer in advance and reschedule the
customer to the next available opportunity. Due to route scheduling conflicts
and/or extended inclement weather, the service visit may be cancelled until the
following scheduled service date. The customer will not be charged if service
cannot be performed due to inclement weather or vehicle maintenance.
Winter Weather Policy: A Happy Bin’s first priority is the safety of our customers and
their property, our employees, and our equipment. At times that will include
cancelling appointments due to inclement weather conditions. A Happy Bin will
attempt to reschedule, but sometimes that may not be possible and a cancellation
of that service visit may occur. In the event of a cancellation, a subscription client
may have to wait until the next scheduled cleaning visit for service. At times Bin
Bath may not be able to clean the exterior of the bins due to excess water
overspray. The inside will still be cleaned, sanitized and deodorized, and the
majority of the wastewater will be collected on the truck. Company policy is that
the client will not be charged unless service has been completed. In the event of
a cancellation or reschedule due to weather, the client will be notified via email
and/or text. A Happy Bin will not be held responsible for frozen water left behind from
the cleaning process and the client hereby releases A Happy Bin from any liability.

the best of their ability, but makes no claims to prevent disease and/or the spread
of contagions.
