(A) Each collector; i.e., an entity furnishing solid waste services (i.e., the collection of solid waste including recyclable solid waste and/or green waste), to any commercial premises or residential premises within the city shall possess a current City Business License and shall display a current city-issued decal on each collection vehicle operated in the city.
(B) In addition to a City Business License, each collector shall possess a current city-issued collector's franchise, permit, license or other form of authorization (collectively "Collector's License") for the collection of solid waste. Each collector shall comply with all requirements set forth in the collector's license and this chapter. These requirements include, but are not limited to, payment of the annual City Business License and collector's license fees, adherence to a schedule of fees to be charged to service recipients for specific services (as may be adopted by the City Council) and any other requirements that the City Council may impose. All city requirements shall be established or modified by City Council ordinance or resolution.
(C) Any person or entity, other than a collector licensed, permitted, franchised or otherwise authorized by the city, which engages in collection of commercial solid waste or which places a commercial bin for the accumulation of solid waste in the city shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable as provided generally for violations of the Alhambra Municipal Code. Each day in which a person or entity engages in the collection of commercial solid waste in the city or places a commercial bin for the accumulation of solid waste, or permits a commercial bin to remain, in the city without a franchise, permit, license or other authorization granted by the city, or fails to display a current city-issued decal, shall be a separate offense.
