UNITED DISPOSAL SOLUTIONS — MASTER SERVICE AGREEMENT (MSA)
MASTER SERVICE AGREEMENT
Governs all services provided by United Disposal Solutions, LLC
Effective August 27, 2026
United Disposal Solutions, LLC (“UDS”) provides waste, recycling, and site services directly with UDS-owned equipment and personnel and through a vetted national network of independent service providers.
This Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) is published at uds.com/master-service-agreement (the “MSA URL”) and governs all UDS services unless a separate written master agreement is signed by both Parties.
By requesting, accepting, or using UDS services, signing a Service Order, Site Service Agreement, or Recurring Service Agreement referencing this MSA, issuing a purchase order, or allowing delivery or servicing of equipment, the customer (“Customer”) agrees to this MSA. UDS and Customer are each a “Party” and together the “Parties.”
This MSA is identified by its effective date. UDS maintains a dated archive of each prior version, available on request. The version in effect on the date an order is placed governs that order.
1. SERVICES AND SERVICE ORDERS
UDS provides waste, recycling, and site services (“Services”) using UDS assets and/or independent providers (“Service Providers”). Specific scope, locations, equipment, and pricing are set in orders, quotes, and schedules (“Service Orders”).
Account and site agreements. A Master Account Agreement covers all Services at all of Customer’s locations. A Site Service Agreement covers all Services at the single job site it names. A Recurring Service Agreement covers the committed services it lists. Each is a signed agreement under which Service Orders are placed, and orders placed under a signed agreement of any of these types are binding without a further signature.
Order of precedence. (1) a signed Recurring Service Agreement; (2) a signed Site Service Agreement; (3) a signed Master Account Agreement; (4) an individual Service Order; (5) this MSA including its Service Schedules; (6) Customer purchase orders and other Customer documents, which are rejected and of no effect unless accepted in writing by an authorized UDS representative.
2. TERM
This MSA applies to all Services until terminated. Individual Service Orders may specify their own service terms, minimum commitments, and early termination charges. Recurring Services continue until canceled under this MSA or the applicable Service Order.
3. BILLING, PAYMENT, AND PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
Cycle and terms. Recurring Services are billed on a 28-day cycle (13 periods per year) unless stated otherwise. Invoices are Net 30 for accounts with approved credit. All other accounts are prepaid, and Customer authorizes UDS to store and charge a payment method on file for all amounts due.
Disposal. No tonnage is included in any haul or rental rate. All material is billed by weight at the per-ton rate for its material stream, based on certified scale tickets, which are available to Customer on request. Per-ton rates are subject to change at any time and are not fixed by any Service Order; a rate shown on a Service Order is the rate in effect on the date of that order, and the rate in effect on the date of service applies. Material outside the ordered stream is reclassified and billed at the higher applicable rate.
Additional charges. Customer pays all applicable taxes and all disposal, fuel, environmental, contamination, regulatory, access, and service charges described in Section 13 and set on the applicable Service Order or the UDS rate sheet for that service line.
Adjustments. UDS may adjust rates on notice. Grounds include changes in disposal, fuel, regulatory, provider, labor, equipment, insurance, or market conditions, and UDS is not required to demonstrate a cost increase as a condition of an adjustment. Where a signed term Service Order states a notice period for rate changes, that period applies to the rates it covers. Per-ton disposal rates are pass-through and may change at any time, with the rate in effect on the date of service applying.
Past due. Balances not paid within 30 days accrue a finance charge of 1.5% per month (18% per year) or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less. Customer pays all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney fees, whether or not suit is filed.
Disputes. Customer must notify UDS of any invoice dispute within 30 days of the invoice date. Undisputed amounts remain due.
4. SERVICE OPERATIONS AND CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
Waste Materials. Non-hazardous solid waste and recyclables generated by Customer at the service location and approved for collection.
Generator and compliance. Customer is the generator and remains responsible for Waste Materials until accepted at an authorized facility. Hazardous or prohibited materials remain Customer’s responsibility at all times.
Loading and transport safety. Customer controls waste contents and loading. Loads must remain within the container, below the rim or fill line, tarpable, and legally transportable. UDS may refuse any unsafe or overloaded container, in which case a dry run fee applies and Customer must correct the condition before service.
Service access. Customer must provide safe, unobstructed access for delivery and service, including adequate approach and overhead clearance. Blocked or unsafe conditions may result in additional service or trip fees.
Permits. Customer is solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all permits required for placement and service, including right-of-way and street-placement permits, and for locating private underground utilities and irrigation. UDS may remove equipment without notice if required permits are not maintained.
Cancellation. Cancellations must be received by 3:00 PM on the business day before the scheduled service date. Later cancellations incur the cancellation charge for that service line.
5. SITE SERVICE RENTAL TERMS
Rental period and continuation. Site service equipment, including dumpsters, containers, portable restrooms, fencing, offices, and related rentals, is provided on a rental basis and remains on rent until Customer requests removal and UDS confirms pickup scheduling. Minimum rental periods may apply per Service Order.
Relocation and movement. Equipment may not be moved, relocated, or altered by Customer or third parties without UDS approval. Unauthorized relocation may result in additional service fees and shifts all resulting risk to Customer.
Ground and surface conditions. Customer must provide stable, level, and suitable ground conditions for placement and servicing.
Public safety. Customer is responsible for maintaining safe conditions around equipment, including barricades, lighting, or markings where required.
Weather and force majeure. UDS is not liable for delays or inability to deliver, service, or remove equipment due to weather, ground conditions, road restrictions, disposal facility conditions, labor disruptions, or other events beyond reasonable control.
6. EQUIPMENT, DELIVERY, ACCEPTANCE, AND RESPONSIBILITY
All equipment remains the property of UDS or its Service Providers and is provided as-is.
Delivery and acceptance. Customer shall inspect equipment upon delivery and notify UDS of any nonconformity before use. Acceptance or use of equipment constitutes acknowledgment that it is suitable for its intended use, in good working order, and accepted as-is except for latent defects.
Responsibility during rental. Customer assumes full responsibility for equipment from delivery until removal by UDS, including loss, theft, damage, misuse, vandalism, tipping, fire, contamination, or third-party interference, except for normal wear from proper use.
Site conditions. Customer warrants sites are suitable for heavy vehicles and releases UDS from damage to pavements, curbs, lawns, irrigation, and subsurface structures where UDS uses reasonable care.
7. PROHIBITED AND SPECIAL WASTE
Without prior written approval, the following may not be placed in UDS equipment: hazardous waste, liquids, chemicals, paint, solvents, fuel or oil, asbestos, medical or biohazard waste, batteries, tires, refrigerant-containing appliances, pressurized or propane tanks, contaminated soil, and any other regulated or restricted material. If discovered, UDS may remove, return, or dispose of the material at Customer’s cost plus applicable fees. Customer retains generator liability and environmental responsibility, including for material placed by third parties.
8. MATERIALS, FACILITIES, AND SERVICE CONTROLS
Disposal and recycling facilities. UDS may select disposal, recycling, or processing facilities and downstream vendors at its discretion unless a specific facility is expressly agreed in a Service Order.
Recyclable commodities. Title to recyclable or recoverable materials transfers to UDS or its Service Providers upon collection unless otherwise stated in a Service Order.
Unsafe or nonconforming waste. UDS may refuse, suspend, or discontinue Services if Waste Materials present safety, contamination, regulatory, or operational risks until conditions are corrected.
Operational documentation. UDS and its Service Providers may document site conditions, equipment placement, loads, contamination, or service events via photographs or records for operational, billing, compliance, or dispute purposes.
Electronic records and signatures. Electronic communications, records, consents, and signatures, including emails, portals, and SMS confirmations, are valid, binding, and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
9. SERVICE DELIVERY MODEL
UDS provides Services through UDS-owned equipment and personnel, affiliated companies under common ownership or control with UDS, and independent third-party Service Providers. Depending on location and service type, Services may be performed directly by UDS or by other approved providers. UDS remains the contracting party, service coordinator, and billing entity unless a Service Order expressly states otherwise, and UDS is responsible for the performance of its Service Providers to the same extent and subject to the same limits as for its own performance.
10. INSURANCE
UDS maintains commercial general liability, automobile liability, workers compensation and employers liability, umbrella or excess liability, and, where applicable to the Services, pollution liability coverage, in each case at limits not less than those shown on UDS’s then-current certificate of insurance.
Certificates. On written request, UDS will furnish a certificate of insurance for the covered site.
Additional insured. Where Customer’s contract documents require it and Customer identifies the requirement in writing before mobilization, UDS will name Customer as additional insured with respect to UDS’s ongoing operations, on a primary and non-contributory basis, and will provide a waiver of subrogation, in each case subject to the terms, conditions, and limits of the applicable policies.
Customer insurance. Customer maintains commercial general liability and, where applicable, property coverage adequate to its obligations under this MSA, and is responsible for insuring the contents of any storage or office unit.
11. LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
Mutual indemnity. Each Party indemnifies, defends, and holds harmless the other Party from third-party claims to the extent arising from the indemnifying Party’s negligence or willful misconduct.
Customer indemnity. Customer additionally indemnifies, defends, and holds harmless UDS and its Service Providers from claims, fines, penalties, remediation costs, and damages arising from waste contents, loading, site conditions, permits, regulatory violations, or hazardous or prohibited materials, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of UDS or its Service Providers. Nothing in this MSA requires either Party to indemnify the other against the other’s own negligence, and this Section is limited as necessary to comply with K.S.A. 16-121 and any other applicable anti-indemnity statute.
Procedure. The indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice of any claim and shall not settle without the indemnifying Party’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Limitation. Except for Customer’s payment obligations and each Party’s indemnity obligations, neither Party’s liability arising out of the Services shall exceed the fees paid for the affected Services during the one billing period preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Neither Party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including delay, downtime, or lost profits.
12. SUSPENSION, TERMINATION, AND COLLECTION
UDS may suspend Services or remove equipment for nonpayment, unsafe conditions, or regulatory issues, at any or all Customer sites. Either Party may terminate for material breach on 30 days written notice and opportunity to cure. Customer cancellation may incur removal, restocking, or provider fees. Where a Service Order states a minimum commitment or term, early termination charges stated in that Service Order apply and are enforceable as liquidated damages, the Parties agreeing that actual damages are difficult to determine and that the stated amount is a reasonable estimate and not a penalty. UDS may require credit approval, deposits, or personal or corporate guarantees, and may exercise all lawful lien and collection rights.
13. RATE SHEET AND ADDITIONAL CHARGES
Base rates and all additional charges are set on the applicable Service Order or on the UDS rate sheet for the service line in question. Rate sheets differ by service line and by market, are available on request, and are subject to change. The rate sheet and Service Order in effect on the date of service govern.
Additional charges may include, without limitation, disposal by weight, dry run and trip charges, late cancellation, relocation, extended rental, overfill or contamination and reclassification to a higher-priced material stream, cleaning, repair, or replacement of equipment, service outside normal hours, and any tax, environmental, fuel, or regulatory surcharge. Past-due balances carry the finance charge and collection costs stated in Section 3.
14. SERVICE SCHEDULES
A. Roll-off and compactor service. Equipment must be placed on a firm, accessible surface with adequate approach and overhead clearance. Loads must be level with the top rail and tarpable. No tonnage is included; all material is billed per ton by stream. UDS may refuse to haul an overloaded, unsafe, or untarpable container. Customer is responsible for all damage, theft, or loss of equipment until pickup, including container fires and hot loads.
B. Storage units and mobile offices. Units are rented monthly and billed in full monthly periods. Customer is responsible for all contents, which are stored at Customer’s sole risk, and no bailment or warehouse relationship is created. Hazardous, perishable, illegal, or prohibited materials are not permitted. Units must be returned empty, unlocked, and in original condition, normal wear excepted, or cleaning, repair, and disposal fees apply.
C. Portable sanitation. Units are serviced on the frequency stated in the Service Order and must remain upright and accessible to the service vehicle on scheduled service days. Only human waste and provided consumables are permitted. Inaccessible units may not be serviced and incur a dry run fee. Customer is responsible for damage, tip-over, vandalism, and misuse until pickup.
D. Temporary fencing. Customer must inspect fencing within 24 hours of installation and report any nonconformity. Fencing may not be moved, altered, or modified without UDS approval. Customer is responsible for site safety, utility locates, ground conditions, permits, and wind loading of any attached screening or banners. Damage, loss, or unauthorized relocation may result in repair or replacement charges.
15. CONSTRUCTION SERVICES ADDENDUM
For construction and demolition projects, Customer controls loading and segregation of heavy materials such as concrete and soil. If a container is too full or overweight to be picked up safely at the scheduled service, a dry run fee applies and Customer must correct the condition before removal. Commingled loads are reclassified and billed at the higher applicable per-ton rate, or may be rejected. Trip and wait charges apply for blocked or unsafe access. Customer is liable for container fires and hot loads and for regulated materials such as asbestos, lead, and contaminated soils unless pre-approved in writing. Section 11 governs indemnity for this Addendum and is limited as required by K.S.A. 16-121 or, for projects outside Kansas, by the anti-indemnity statute of the state in which the project is located.
16. NATIONAL ACCOUNT ADDENDUM
For multi-location Customers, UDS coordinates Services across locations via its network. Pricing, service levels, and recycling programs may vary by market and provider capability. Consolidated or per-location billing may be provided on the 28-day cycle. The non-circumvention obligation in Section 19 applies to all covered locations. Services at each location are subject to the law of that location to the extent Section 19 requires.
17. MOBILE ACCESS AND TEXT MESSAGING
Mobile access. Customer and its personnel are solely responsible for all message and data charges imposed by their wireless provider. Mobile service availability varies by device, carrier, and location.
Operational messages. UDS may send operational, service, and account-related SMS or MMS messages, including scheduling, delivery, service status, billing, and support. Providing a mobile number to UDS constitutes consent to receive these messages.
Marketing messages. UDS will send promotional or marketing text messages only where Customer has given separate prior express written consent, which may be revoked at any time.
Opt-out. Customer may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message or to the sending number. One confirmation message may be sent. Reply HELP or contact UDS for assistance. Opting out of operational messages may affect service notifications.
Number ownership. Customer represents it is authorized to provide any mobile number supplied to UDS and must promptly notify UDS if a number is changed, reassigned, or deactivated. UDS, its vendors, and carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Customer indemnifies UDS from claims arising from failure to update contact numbers.
18. PLATFORM ACCESS AND DISCLAIMERS
Access and termination. If Customer or its personnel access any UDS website, portal, or software platform (“Platforms”), UDS may suspend or terminate access, accounts, credentials, or submitted content at any time for security, misuse, nonpayment, inactivity, or breach. Termination of platform access does not affect UDS rights or remedies under this MSA.
Disclaimer. Platforms and their content are provided as-is and as-available. UDS does not warrant that they are accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, and may correct, modify, or discontinue any feature or content at any time without notice. To the fullest extent permitted by law, UDS disclaims all express and implied warranties regarding Platforms, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, and freedom from harmful components.
Platform liability. Customer assumes all risk for use of Platforms and any information transmitted or stored through them. UDS is not liable for system outages, delays, interception, unauthorized access, data loss, or third-party conduct. Platform use does not alter the liability limits in Section 11.
19. GENERAL LEGAL TERMS
Authority. The person accepting Services or signing a Service Order has authority to bind Customer.
Amendments. UDS may update this MSA by posting a new version, bearing a new effective date, at the MSA URL, with email notice where UDS has a business email on file. Changes are not retroactive and do not apply to disputes arising before the new effective date. Changes do not apply to a signed Recurring Service Agreement or other signed term Service Order during its stated term. Continued use of Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance, and Customer’s sole remedy is to discontinue Services.
Governing law and venue. This MSA is governed by the laws of the State of Kansas without regard to conflict of laws principles. Subject to the arbitration provision below, the exclusive venue for any action is the state or federal courts located in Sedgwick County, Kansas, and each Party consents to personal jurisdiction there.
Services performed outside Kansas. Where Services are performed outside Kansas and a statute of the state in which the Services are performed would mandatorily govern a dispute, or would invalidate the choice of law or venue above as applied to that work, the law and any required venue of that state apply to the minimum extent the statute requires, and only as to the affected work. All remaining provisions of this MSA, including the arbitration provision below, remain in full effect. Customer remains responsible for permits, licensing, and site compliance at each location under Section 4 regardless of which state’s law governs.
Dispute resolution. Except as carved out below, any dispute arising out of or relating to this MSA or the Services shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Wichita, Kansas, on an individual basis under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. No claim may be arbitrated or litigated on a class, collective, or consolidated basis. Either Party may bring an action in court, without arbitration, for collection of amounts due, for injunctive or equitable relief, for recovery or replevin of equipment, and in small claims court for claims within that court’s jurisdiction. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION PERMITTED TO PROCEED IN COURT.
Non-circumvention. During the term of Services and for 12 months afterward, Customer will not contract directly with any Service Provider introduced to Customer by UDS for services at any location UDS has served, without UDS’s prior written consent.
Notices. Notices must be in writing and are effective when delivered by hand, by nationally recognized overnight courier, or by certified mail to the addresses on the applicable Service Order, or when sent by email to the address each Party has designated for notices, with confirmation of transmission. Notices to UDS go to cs@uds.com with a copy to legal@uds.com.
Assignment. UDS may assign this MSA without consent, including to an affiliate or in connection with a sale of its business or assets. Customer may not assign without UDS’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. This MSA binds each Party’s permitted successors and assigns.
Entire agreement. This MSA, together with the applicable Service Orders, is the entire agreement between the Parties as to the Services and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous proposals, terms, and understandings, including any preprinted terms on a Customer purchase order.
Severability and waiver. Invalid or unenforceable terms shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be enforceable, or severed, without affecting the remainder. No failure or delay in enforcing a right is a waiver of it.
Pricing errors. UDS may correct pricing or description errors and revise or cancel affected Service Orders.
Survival. Payment, indemnity, insurance, liability limits, environmental responsibility, non-circumvention, governing law, and dispute resolution survive termination.
