Terms and Conditions

Effective August 1st, 2026

Last updated July 30, 2026

What changed: Recycling expanded from metal and cardboard only to single-stream recycling. Paper, mixed paper, cartons, and #1 and #2 plastics are now accepted. Glass, plastics #3 through #7, plastic bags, and styrofoam are still not accepted. We also added a section explaining how we handle future updates to these terms. We'll always email you before a change takes effect, and if you don't agree with a change, just let us know before that date — you can cancel anytime with no penalty.

What You Need To Know

  • Recycling is now single-stream — paper, mixed paper, cartons, cans, scrap metal, and #1 and #2 plastic bottles and jugs all go in the same bin.
  • #1 and #2 plastics only — water and soda bottles, milk jugs, and detergent bottles. Tubs, cups, and trays go in the trash.
  • Glass still goes in the trash — it shatters in the truck and ruins the paper and cardboard around it.

What this means for you

Good news — you can recycle a lot more than before. Along with metal and cardboard, you can now put paper, mail, magazines, flattened cardboard, food boxes, cartons, cans, clean foil, and plastic bottles and jugs in your recycling bin.

The easy way to remember plastics: if it is a bottle or a jug — something with a neck you pour from — it goes in recycling. Tubs, cups, and trays go in the trash. Not sure? Flip it over and look for a small 1 or 2 inside the triangle.

Still put these in the trash: glass of any kind, plastic tubs, cups and trays, plastic bags and wrap, styrofoam, and anything with food on it like greasy pizza boxes and used paper towels.

Why no glass? Glass breaks in our truck. The little pieces get mixed into the paper and cardboard and ruin them, so none of it can be recycled. Put glass in your trash bin and we will take it from there.

Part 1 — Introduction

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the use of services provided by Lambert Disposal, including waste services and Lambert Disposal's SMS messaging program, by the customer (the "Customer"). By using the services or participating in the SMS program, the Customer agrees to these Terms.

Part 2 — Communications

SMS Messaging Program Terms

Program/Brand Name: Lambert Disposal

Program Description: Lambert Disposal sends customers service-related SMS communications, including order confirmations, delivery updates, service reminders, and account notifications. Messages are sent only after the Customer has provided explicit verbal consent during a phone call with a Lambert Disposal representative. After consent is captured verbally, the representative manually enters the Customer's mobile number into Lambert Disposal's system to enable SMS messaging.

Message Frequency: The Customer will receive up to 5 messages per rental per month. Message frequency varies based on the Customer's service activity. Messages are recurring throughout the rental period.

Message and Data Rates: Message and data rates may apply. The Customer should check their mobile carrier plan for details. Lambert Disposal is not responsible for charges assessed by the Customer's wireless carrier.

How to Opt Out: The Customer may opt out of the SMS program by replying STOP to any message received from Lambert Disposal. After the Customer replies STOP, Lambert Disposal will send a confirmation message and the Customer will not receive any additional SMS messages unless the Customer re-enrolls by providing verbal consent again.

How to Get Help: The Customer may reply HELP to any message from Lambert Disposal to receive information about the program, or contact Lambert Disposal directly at 770-685-7113 or howdy@lambertdisposal.com.

Customer Support

  • Phone: 770-685-7113
  • Email: howdy@lambertdisposal.com
  • Hours: 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., Monday–Friday

Privacy: The Customer's information is handled in accordance with Lambert Disposal's Privacy Policy.

Carrier Disclaimer: Carriers are not liable for any delayed or undelivered messages. Message delivery is subject to effective transmission from the Customer's wireless service provider and is outside of Lambert Disposal's control.

Eligibility: The Customer must be at least 18 years old and the account holder or authorized user of the mobile telephone number provided in order to participate in the SMS program. By providing verbal consent, the Customer represents that they meet these eligibility requirements.

Supported Carriers: SMS messaging is available on most major U.S. wireless carriers. Carrier availability is subject to change without notice.

Electronic Communications and Consent to Contact

By providing a telephone number, mobile number, email address, or mailing address in connection with service, the Customer consents to receive communications from Lambert Disposal and anyone contacting the Customer on its behalf at the contact information provided, including communications about the Customer's account, service, billing, and scheduling. The Customer agrees that such communications may be sent by email, text message, mail, or telephone call, including calls or messages made using a pre-recorded or artificial voice or an automatic telephone dialing system. Message and data rates may apply, and consent to receive automated calls or texts is not a condition of receiving service. The Customer may opt out of text messages as described in the SMS Messaging Program Terms above and may opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in those emails.

The Customer agrees that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Lambert Disposal provides electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing, and that any notice provided electronically is deemed given on the date it is sent.

Part 3 — Service Terms

The following terms apply to all waste hauling and dumpster rental services provided by Lambert Disposal.

Pickup Schedule and Holidays

Pickups will not occur on Independence Day (July 4th), Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, or New Year's Day. During holiday weeks, service may be delayed by one or more days. The Customer will be notified of the adjusted pickup schedule in advance by email, text, phone call, social media, or website notice.

Pickups may also be delayed due to inclement weather (such as snow, ice, or other unsafe conditions). If the Customer's pickup is missed because of weather, Lambert Disposal will make it up the next day or as soon as reasonably possible.

Lambert Disposal reserves the right to adjust route days from time to time with at least seven (7) days' advance notice to the Customer by email, text, invoice insert, or website notice.

Acceptable Waste

Lambert Disposal will collect ordinary household and commercial solid waste placed in approved containers at the designated pickup location. The following materials are not accepted under regular service: hazardous waste, medical or biohazardous waste, liquids, paint, batteries, tires, automotive fluids, construction debris, large appliances, large furniture, and any items prohibited by applicable law (collectively, "Contaminated Materials"). Contaminated Materials also include otherwise-acceptable items that have been mixed with prohibited materials in a way that prevents normal disposal.

Lambert Disposal can pick up many of these items by scheduling a separate pickup. Items such as large furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, tires, and certain construction debris can often be collected upon request for an additional fee. The Customer should describe the items and quantity when booking so Lambert Disposal can confirm acceptance and pricing before pickup.

Hazardous, medical, and biohazardous waste are never accepted and must be disposed of through an authorized facility.

Approved Containers and Pickup Rules

Lambert Disposal will only collect waste from approved containers — that is, containers issued by Lambert Disposal or branded with the Lambert Disposal name or logo. Lambert Disposal will not pick up trash or recycling placed in other cans, bags set on the ground, or any receptacle that is not an approved container.

For the first fourteen (14) days of service, while the Customer's Lambert Disposal containers are being delivered or replaced, Lambert Disposal will pick up trash and recycling from any reasonable household-style container at the designated pickup location. After the grace period ends, only approved containers will be serviced. The same grace period applies if Lambert Disposal is replacing a damaged or lost container during the Customer's service term.

As long as the Customer's items are inside an approved container, Lambert Disposal will collect them — the lid does not always have to be fully closed. However, the Customer should keep containers from being so overfilled that materials can fall out during transport. Overweight or excessively overfilled containers may not be serviced and may incur additional charges, which will be itemized on the next invoice.

Lambert Disposal will pick up up to fifteen (15) bags of yard debris per scheduled pickup, provided the debris is contained in biodegradable, brown yard bags.

  • Lambert Disposal will not pick up unbagged yard debris or trash.
  • Lambert Disposal will not pick up yard bags filled with household trash, construction debris, or any non-yard-debris materials.
  • Lambert Disposal may refuse to pick up yard debris that could damage the truck — for example, large stumps, rocks, concrete, bricks, or other heavy or rigid items.

Recycling Services

Effective August 1, 2026, Lambert Disposal recycling service is single-stream. The following applies to recycling service and to all recyclable materials ("Recyclable Materials"). All Recyclable Materials must be clean, dry, empty, loose, and unbagged.

Accepted Recyclable Materials:

  • Flattened cardboard boxes and flattened corrugated packaging
  • Mixed paper: mail, magazines, newspaper, office paper, phone books
  • Paper-based food service packaging (clean paper takeout boxes and containers)
  • Dry food boxes and cartons (cereal, crackers, pasta)
  • #1 PET plastic drink bottles (water, soda, sports drinks)
  • #2 HDPE plastic jugs and bottles (milk jugs, detergent, shampoo)
  • Aluminum cans
  • Steel and tin cans
  • Scrap metal: copper wiring, pipe, small appliance parts, aluminum siding and gutters

Plastics limitation. Only plastics marked #1 (PET) and #2 (HDPE) are accepted in recycling. All other plastic numbers — #3, #4, #5, #6, and #7 — are not accepted and must be placed in the trash.

Not accepted in recycling — these items belong in the trash:

  • Glass of any kind, including bottles, jars, and drinkware
  • Plastics numbered #3 through #7, including yogurt cups, tubs, clamshells, and takeout containers
  • Plastic bags, film, and wrap, including grocery and takeout bags
  • Styrofoam of any kind
  • Aerosol spray cans
  • Paint cans
  • Batteries
  • Electronics
  • Wood
  • Cabling and hoses
  • Propane tanks and cylinders
  • Chemicals
  • Food waste and liquids
  • Food-soiled paper, napkins, paper towels, and grease-soiled pizza boxes
  • Diapers, hygiene products, pet waste and litter

The items listed above, along with any Contaminated Materials, must be kept out of recycling containers and placed in the trash. Lambert Disposal makes no representation as to the recyclability of any collected materials and may, upon notice, discontinue accepting any category of Recyclable Materials due to market conditions.

Preparation. The Customer should rinse containers to remove food residue, flatten all cardboard and corrugated packaging, keep scrap metal free of attached wood, plastic, or insulation where possible, and place all recycling loose in the bin, never bagged.

Recycling Contamination Charge. Recycling contamination occurs when glass, trash, or any of the not-accepted items listed above are mixed into a recycling container, which can render otherwise-good recyclables unusable. A contamination charge of five dollars ($5) per contaminated recycling container per incident will be assessed and itemized on the next invoice. Lambert Disposal may decline to collect, or may dispose of as trash, the contents of any contaminated recycling container.

Access to the Service Address

The Customer authorizes Lambert Disposal and its employees, agents, and authorized subcontractors to enter the service address at reasonable times as necessary to deliver, service, inspect, repair, replace, or remove containers and to collect Waste Materials. The Customer represents that they own the service address or otherwise have the authority to grant such access, and agrees to provide safe, unobstructed access to the designated pickup location on each scheduled collection day. Lambert Disposal is not responsible for any missed or delayed collection resulting from blocked, locked, or otherwise inaccessible access, and no refund or credit will be due in such cases.

Title to Waste & Responsibility for Prohibited Materials

Title to and liability for any Contaminated Materials, and any other materials not accepted under these Terms, remain with the Customer at all times, even if such materials are inadvertently collected by Lambert Disposal. The Customer is solely responsible for the proper handling and disposal of all such materials. Title to all acceptable Waste Materials properly placed for collection transfers to Lambert Disposal upon collection. The Customer represents that all materials placed for collection are free of Contaminated Materials and that the Customer has the legal right to dispose of them.

Equipment Ownership and Customer Responsibility

Any container, cart, or bin furnished by Lambert Disposal ("Equipment") remains the sole property of Lambert Disposal at all times. While Equipment is in the Customer's possession, the Customer is responsible for its care and is liable for all loss, theft, or damage to the Equipment, except for normal wear and tear. The Customer agrees to use the Equipment only for its intended purpose and not to move it from the service address.

The Customer must provide safe, unobstructed access to the Equipment on each scheduled collection day, and must place the Equipment at the designated pickup location no later than 7:00 a.m. on the collection day. Lambert Disposal is not obligated to collect Equipment that is blocked, inaccessible, or placed after this time, and any resulting missed pickup will not entitle the Customer to a refund or credit. Upon termination of service for any reason, the Customer must make the Equipment available for retrieval; a removal charge and applicable charges for lost, damaged, or unreturned Equipment may apply.

Cart Deposit

At Lambert Disposal's discretion, a refundable deposit of $75 can be required for each garbage cart provided by Lambert Disposal. This deposit will be refunded when the Customer cancels service and the cart is returned to Lambert Disposal in good condition, allowing for normal wear and tear. Lambert Disposal may withhold all or part of the deposit if the cart is returned with serious damage beyond normal wear and tear, or is not returned. If no deposit was collected for a cart, the Customer authorizes Lambert Disposal to charge the payment method on file for the full replacement cost of the cart if it is returned with serious damage beyond normal wear and tear or is not returned. Refunds are processed within 30 days of the cart being retrieved following the end of the Customer's service.

Part 4 — Billing, Payment & Fees

First Three Months Free

New customers receive Lambert Disposal's full service package free of charge for the first three (3) months of service, beginning on the service start date. No charges will be billed during this promotional period. After the free period ends, service continues automatically at Lambert Disposal's then-current standard rates unless the Customer contacts Lambert Disposal before the free period ends to cancel or modify service. The Customer may cancel, or adjust their service level (for example: adding or removing containers), by contacting Lambert Disposal at 770-685-7113 or howdy@lambertdisposal.com. Any modified service will be billed at the then-current standard rates for the selected service level. By continuing service beyond the free period, the Customer authorizes billing to the payment method on file in accordance with these Terms.

Billing and Auto-Pay

Auto-pay is required for all Lambert Disposal service. By signing up for service, the Customer authorizes Lambert Disposal to automatically charge the payment method on file (ACH bank draft or credit/debit card) on each invoice due date. The Customer is responsible for keeping payment information current.

On the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Customer's sign-up date, the Customer's billing cycle will be switched to annual billing. After the transition, the Customer will be billed once per year, in advance, for the upcoming twelve (12) months of service.

At least thirty (30) but no more than sixty (60) days before each annual billing date, Lambert Disposal will send the Customer written or electronic notice that service will automatically renew for the upcoming twelve (12) months, along with instructions for canceling. The Customer may cancel or decline annual renewal by contacting Lambert Disposal at 770-685-7113 or howdy@lambertdisposal.com before the renewal date.

Invoices are due upon receipt. Lambert Disposal provides a ten (10) day grace period on past-due invoices. If a bill remains unpaid after ten (10) days past the due date:

  • Lambert Disposal will promptly retrieve the cans/containers from the service address.
  • A $35 fee will be charged to return the cans to the service address after the past-due balance, including the late fees outlined below, has been paid in full.
  • Service will not resume, and cans will not be returned, until the outstanding balance is paid.

Late Fees

Invoices are due upon receipt, and Lambert Disposal provides a ten (10) day grace period on past-due invoices. Any amount that remains unpaid more than ten (10) days after the invoice date will accrue a late fee of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (eighteen percent (18%) per year) on the outstanding balance, or the maximum amount permitted under Georgia law, whichever is less. The Customer acknowledges that this late fee is not interest or a finance charge, but a reasonable charge to compensate Lambert Disposal for the anticipated cost and loss caused by late payment. This late fee is in addition to Lambert Disposal's other remedies for nonpayment, including container retrieval and suspension of service.

Taxes

All rates and charges for service are exclusive of applicable sales, use, and other taxes, fees, and surcharges, unless stated otherwise. The Customer is solely responsible for paying all such taxes, fees, and surcharges, which will be added to the Customer's invoice where applicable.

Chargebacks

If the Customer initiates a chargeback, payment dispute, or reversal with their card issuer or bank without good cause or otherwise in bad faith — including for charges validly owed under these Terms — Lambert Disposal reserves the right to suspend service and to take any action necessary to recover the disputed amount. The Customer agrees to reimburse Lambert Disposal for all costs incurred in recovering such amounts, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and any fees charged to Lambert Disposal by its payment processor in connection with the chargeback.

Rate Adjustments

Annual price increases are a standard part of Lambert Disposal service. The Customer's service rate is subject to adjustment each year to account for inflation, operating costs, disposal costs, fuel costs, labor costs, and other economic conditions.

Fuel Recovery Charge

Lambert Disposal may add a Fuel Recovery Charge to the Customer's invoice if fuel prices spike above normal rates.

The Fuel Recovery Charge is charged for the exclusive purpose of recouping fuel costs incurred by Lambert Disposal if fuel prices rise above normal levels. The charge will be billed quarterly and will be itemized separately on the invoice for transparency.

Disposal Recovery Charge

Lambert Disposal may add a Disposal Recovery Charge to the Customer's invoice if disposal prices spike above normal rates.

The Disposal Recovery Charge is charged for the exclusive purpose of recouping disposal costs incurred by Lambert Disposal if disposal prices rise above normal levels. The charge will be billed quarterly and will be itemized separately on the invoice for transparency.

Refund Policy

The Customer will not be refunded for services purchased, except where the Customer has moved from the service address and provides adequate proof of relocation. Acceptable documentation includes a signed lease, closing documents, a utility bill at the new address, a moving company invoice, or a USPS change-of-address confirmation. Upon receipt of acceptable proof, Lambert Disposal will prorate and refund any unused portion of the Customer's most recent invoice.

Collection Costs and Attorneys' Fees

In the event Lambert Disposal successfully enforces its rights under these Terms against the Customer, including the collection of any past-due or unpaid amounts, the Customer shall be required to pay Lambert Disposal's reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and collection costs, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. This provision applies to any permitted court action and is in addition to, and does not limit, the costs-and-fees provisions of the "Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration" section below.

Part 5 — Warranties, Insurance & Liability

Disclaimer of Warranties

Lambert Disposal will perform its services in a workmanlike manner with reasonable care. Except as expressly stated in these Terms, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the services and the Lambert Disposal website (https://lambertdisposal.com) are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and Lambert Disposal disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Lambert Disposal does not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Insurance

Lambert Disposal maintains general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and a certificate of insurance is available upon request. The Customer is responsible for maintaining standard property insurance covering the service address. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lambert Disposal shall not be liable for any claim or damage that would typically be covered by standard property insurance, including damage caused by unforeseen events or conditions outside Lambert Disposal's reasonable control.

Indemnification

Each party agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party, and its owners, affiliates, employees, and agents, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) for bodily injury (including death), property damage, or violation of law, to the extent caused by the negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of the indemnifying party, its employees, agents, or contractors. The Customer's indemnification obligations also extend to any claim arising from the Customer's breach of these Terms, the Customer's placement of Contaminated Materials for collection, or the Customer's use, operation, or possession of any Equipment furnished by Lambert Disposal. Lambert Disposal's indemnification obligations do not apply to any occurrence involving Contaminated Materials or any materials not accepted under these Terms.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party shall be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services, including lost profits or loss of business, regardless of the legal theory and even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of Lambert Disposal arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services shall not exceed the total amount of service charges paid by the Customer to Lambert Disposal during the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. The Customer acknowledges that the service charges have been set in reliance on these limitations and that they form an essential basis of the agreement between the parties.

Part 6 — Suspension & Termination

Suspension and Termination for Conduct

In addition to its right to suspend or terminate service for nonpayment, Lambert Disposal reserves the right to suspend or terminate service, with or without notice, if the Customer threatens, harasses, abuses, or uses vulgar or inappropriate language toward Lambert Disposal's employees, drivers, agents, or subcontractors, or otherwise engages in conduct that endangers their health or safety or interferes with Lambert Disposal's ability to provide service. Termination under this section does not entitle the Customer to a refund except as required by law.

Part 7 — Dispute Resolution

Governing Law and Venue

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the services, or the Customer's relationship with Lambert Disposal, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the "Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration" section below, the Customer and Lambert Disposal agree that the exclusive venue for any permitted court action shall be the state or federal courts located in Cobb County, Georgia, and the Customer consents to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waives any objection based on inconvenient forum.

Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS THE CUSTOMER'S LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

Informal Resolution First. Before initiating any arbitration or other proceeding, the Customer agrees to first contact Lambert Disposal at howdy@lambertdisposal.com or 770-685-7113 and provide a written description of the dispute and the relief sought. The Customer and Lambert Disposal agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days before commencing arbitration.

Agreement to Arbitrate. Except as set out below, the Customer and Lambert Disposal agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services — whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory — shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

Arbitration Rules and Forum. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, shall take place in Cobb County, Georgia (or, at the Customer's election, by telephone, videoconference, or document submission), and shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver. The Customer and Lambert Disposal agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. THE CUSTOMER AND LAMBERT DISPOSAL WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. If this class-action waiver is found to be unenforceable as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) shall be severed and proceed in court, while all other claims remain in arbitration.

Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property, confidential information, or to collect amounts owed.

Costs and Fees. Payment of arbitration filing, administration, and arbitrator fees shall be governed by the AAA rules, except that Lambert Disposal will pay or reimburse any portion of such fees that the AAA rules or applicable law require it to bear. Each party shall otherwise bear its own attorneys' fees and costs, except that the arbitrator may award the prevailing party its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Limitation Period. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arises; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred.

Opt-Out. The Customer may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to howdy@lambertdisposal.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating the Customer's name, service address, and a clear statement that the Customer wishes to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

Severability. If any portion of this Dispute Resolution section (other than the class-action waiver, which is governed above) is found unenforceable, that portion shall be severed and the remainder shall continue in effect.

Part 8 — General Provisions

Changes to These Terms and to Service

Lambert Disposal may modify these Terms, the service charges, the collection schedule, route days, and the number, capacity, or type of Equipment from time to time. Changes to these Terms or to the charges payable hereunder may be agreed to in writing, by the Customer's payment of an invoice reflecting such changes, by the Customer's continued use of the services after notice of the change, or by the actions and practices of the parties. The Customer's continued acceptance of services following any such change constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. The most current version of these Terms will be posted at https://lambertdisposal.com/terms, and the Customer is encouraged to review it periodically.

General

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with any service order, invoice, or written service agreement between the parties, constitute the entire agreement between the Customer and Lambert Disposal regarding the services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, representations, or agreements, whether oral or written, on that subject. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a signed written service agreement, the signed agreement controls.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or, if it cannot be so modified, severed, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. (The arbitration and class-action waiver provisions are governed by the severability rules stated in the "Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration" section.)

Waiver. No failure or delay by Lambert Disposal in exercising any right under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right, and no single or partial exercise of any right shall preclude any further exercise of it. A waiver is effective only if in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Lambert Disposal.

Assignment. The Customer may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them without Lambert Disposal's prior written consent. Lambert Disposal may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or part of its business or assets. These Terms bind and benefit the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

Notices. Lambert Disposal may provide notices to the Customer by email, text message, invoice insert, or website notice, using the contact information on file. The Customer is responsible for keeping contact information current. Notices to Lambert Disposal must be sent to:

Email: howdy@lambertdisposal.com
Mailing Address: 3101 Cobb Parkway Suite 124, Atlanta, GA 30339

Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.

Changes to These Terms

Lambert Disposal may update these Terms from time to time.

Notice. Lambert Disposal will notify Customers of changes by email to the address on the Customer's account, and will post the updated Terms at lambertdisposal.com/terms showing the effective date. Prior versions of the Terms remain available on that page.

Timing. Changes take effect on the stated effective date, which will be at least 14 days after notice is sent for changes that expand or improve service, or that are administrative or clarifying; and at least 30 days after notice is sent for changes that increase a Customer’s costs or reduce the services provided.

Acceptance. Continuing to receive service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

If the Customer does not agree. It is the Customer’s responsibility to contact Lambert Disposal before the effective date if the Customer does not agree with a change. A Customer who does not agree may cancel service without penalty before the effective date, consistent with the quarter-to-quarter nature of this agreement. Customers may contact Lambert Disposal by phone or text at (770) 685-7113 or by email at howdy@lambertdisposal.com.

Contact information. Customers are responsible for keeping the email address on their account current. Notice sent to the email address on file is effective when sent, whether or not the Customer opens or reads it, unless the message is returned as undeliverable.

Dispute resolution changes. If Lambert Disposal changes the arbitration or dispute-resolution provisions, Customers will have a fresh 30-day period from the notice date to opt out of the revised arbitration provision using the existing opt-out process.
