RESERVE A TRUCK PROGRAM
CITY OF HILLSBORO, KANSAS
LETTER OF AGREEMENT
Name: ___________________________ Telephone No. ________________
Address: _________________________
Weekend of ______________________
I have requested that the City of Hillsboro reserve a truck for my neighborhood this weekend. I agree to provide space on my property for the truck to be parked and to generally supervise loading of the truck while it is there in order to limit vandalism and theft. I will report suspicious or improper activity to the Police Department at 947-3440. I understand that I am not responsible for any damage to or theft of the truck or its contents due to causes beyond my control.
BECAUSE THE COUNTY TRANSFER STATION WILL NOT ACCEPT BRUSH, LEAVES, OR ANY YARD WASTE, PLEASE DO NOT LOAD TIDS ON THE TRUCK. All leaves and grass clippings are to go to the compost pile located next to the sewer treatment facility on South Wilson Street. The brush is to go to the brush & limb facility one mile north of the Alco store.
I understand that any damage to the truck or its contents will jeopardize my neighborhood’s opportunity to participate in the Reserve-a-Truck program in the future, and that excessive or hazardous loads may impair the effectiveness of the program. I will not permit loading of any hot, explosive or corrosive materials or liquids.
I understand that the program is not to be used for the removal of construction or demolition wastes, including remodeling and reshingling. Any disallowed materials in the truck will result in a fee being assessed to me.
I agree that I will not enter the cab of the truck, and I understand that the truck will be emptied only once, on Monday morning at 8:30 a.m. In consideration of this privilege, I expressly release the city and its employees from all liability from damage to my property or injury to me while using the city’s truck.
I ALSO AGREE TO LOAD THE TRUCK SO AS TO PERMIT SAFE TRANSPORTATION TO THE TRANSFER STATION WITHOUT STACKING OR ADJUSTING OF THE LOAD BY THE CITY’S DRIVER. Material not loaded in the truck bed on Monday morning will not be disposed of by city forces. I also understand that my household may use a truck free one time per year.
