Inspection of Bins
12. Bin inspections will be conducted by two persons employed by and under the direct guidance and training of KESAB environment solutions. The purpose of a bin inspection is to determine whether correct bin usage has occurred in relation to a property.
13. If requested to cease inspection of a bin by the Resident of the property (once the Resident has proved their identity as the occupier of the property to the bin inspector) the bin inspector will discontinue the inspection immediately.
14. Bin inspectors will maintain any information regarding personal contents identified whilst inspecting the bin in the strictest confidence.
15. If correct food waste disposal is identified in the green organics bin, an inspection of the general waste bin will be conducted to check for food waste.

16. Where upon inspection of the bins presented for collection in relation to a property:
16.1 correct food waste disposal is identified in the green organics bin and that bin is not contaminated; and
16.2 no food waste is found in the general waste bin,
it will be determined that ‘correct bin usage’ has occurred and the Resident of the property will be entitled to receive the prize (or prize jackpot if applicable).
17. If only a green organics bin is presented for collection at the relevant property, and the inspection identifies correct food waste disposal and that the bin is not contaminated, the Resident will be entitled to receive the prize (or prize jackpot if applicable);
18. If only a general waste bin is presented for collection at the relevant property the Resident is not eligible for a prize.
19. The bin inspector’s decision as to whether correct bin usage has occurred in relation to a property (which gives rise to eligibility for a prize on the part of a Resident) is final.
