(B) The Commission, with the approval of the City Council, may, from time to time, promulgate, amend and repeal regulations relative to the collection of recyclable materials. Such regulations shall be adopted only after public hearing and in consultation with the Commissioner of Public Works. The Commission may, in its own discretion, grant or withhold a permit or permits allowing the collection of recyclable materials from places on or abutting public ways, which permit or permits may allow practices prohibited by Subsection 16-1.21; provided, however, that before any such permit is issued the Commission shall satisfy itself that the potential permittee will conduct such collection in a manner consistent with the protection of the public health and safety. No such permit shall be issued for a period greater than one year, and all shall be subject to revocation by the Commission at any time. The Commission may impose conditions and restrictions on permittees and may require the posting of security for faithful performance by a permittee.
