Single-family organic waste generators:
(a) Shall be automatically enrolled in the jurisdiction's three-container organic waste collection services with a minimum source separated recyclable materials service, and with a minimum source separated green container organic waste service level as approved by the City Manager. The City Manager shall have the authority to change this minimum required levels of service over time. Jurisdiction shall have the right to review the number, size, and location of a generator's containers to evaluate adequacy of capacity provided for each type of collection service for proper separation of materials and containment of materials; and generator shall adjust its service level for its collection services as requested by the jurisdiction.
(b) Shall participate in the jurisdiction's three-container system for source separated recyclable materials, source separated green container organic materials, and gray container waste collection services. Generator participation in the collection programs requires that generators place source separated green container organic waste, including food waste, in the green container; source separated recyclable materials in the blue container; and gray container waste in the gray container. Generators shall not place materials designated for the gray container into the green container or blue container.
(c) Nothing in this Section prohibits a generator from preventing or reducing waste generation, managing organic waste on site, and/or using a community composting site pursuant to 14 CCR Section 18984.9(c).
