It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation, other than the contractor or its employees, or the person, firm, or entity which has contracted with the contractor for such transportation, or unless otherwise excluded or exempted by federal or state law, to collect within the city or to transport or carry any solid waste, trash, organics, recyclable materials, hazardous waste, infectious material, or special handling material through the city with the following exceptions:
(A) Self-haulers who are hauling trash, organics or recyclables/salvageable materials from their own property or job site for disposal or diversion and who are not engaged in the business of hauling must abide by the following:
(1) Self-haulers shall source separate all recyclable materials and organic waste (materials that city otherwise requires generators to separate for collection in the city’s organics and recycling collection program) generated on-site from solid waste in a manner consistent with 14 CCR Sections 18984.1 and 18984.2, or shall haul organic waste to a high diversion organic waste processing facility as specified in 14 CCR Section 18984.3.
(2) Self-haulers shall haul their source separated recyclable materials to a facility that recovers those materials; and haul their source separated organic waste to a solid waste facility, operation, activity, or property that processes or recovers source separated organic waste. Alternatively, self-haulers may haul organic waste to a high diversion organic waste processing facility.
(3) Self-haulers that are commercial businesses (including multi-family residential dwellings) shall keep a record of the amount of organic waste delivered to each solid waste facility, operation, activity, or property that processes or recovers organic waste; this record shall be subject to inspection by the city. The records shall include the following information:
(a) Delivery receipts and weight tickets from the entity accepting the waste.
(b) The amount of material in cubic yards or tons transported by the generator to each entity.
(c) If the material is transported to an entity that does not have scales on-site or employs scales incapable of weighing the self-hauler’s vehicle in a manner that allows it to determine the weight of materials received, the self-hauler is not required to record the weight of material but shall keep a record of the entities that received the organic waste.
(d) Self-haulers that are commercial businesses (including multi-family self-haulers) shall provide information collected in § 6-3.08(A)(3) to the city if requested.
(B) A residential organic waste generator that self-hauls organic waste is not required to record or report information in § 6-3.08(A)(3) above.
(C) The term SOLID WASTE as used in this section shall not include scrap meat, fats or hides from any butcher shop or restaurant, and provided that any person, other than the contractor, removing, collecting or carrying such scrap meat, fats or hides shall first obtain a permit from the City Manager or his or her designee upon a showing that the transportation will be accomplished in a safe and sanitary manner in equipment designed and maintained for that purpose.
(D) In the event that the city authorizes collection or transporting of solid waste due to a declared emergency.
