The Franchise Agreements state: <br /> • SECTION 3.02 TERM <br /> The Term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall end at <br /> midnight on December 31 , 2020, unless earlier terminated, or extended as <br /> provided in Section 3.03. Contractor's obligation to Collect Solid Waste, Targeted <br /> Recyclable Materials and Organic Materials shall begin on January 1, 2011 at <br /> 12:01 a.m. and shall continue for the remainder of the Term. <br />
