(a) Waste from garbage grinders shall not be discharged into a City sewer except:
(1) Wastes generated in preparation of food normally consumed on the premises; or
(2) Where the user has obtained a permit for that specific use from the City and agrees to undertake whatever self-monitoring is required to enable the City to equitably determine the charges and fees based on the waste constituents and characteristics. Such grinders must shred the waste to a degree that all particles will be carried freely under normal flow conditions prevailing in the City sewers. Garbage grinders shall not be used for grinding plastic, paper products, inert materials, garden refuse or waste products resulting from the handling, storage and sale of fruits and vegetables in wholesale and retail produce establishments.
(b) A person who violates this section is responsible for a Class E Municipal civil infraction and shall be subject to the civil fines provided in Section 202.98.
