(A) Any hauler which collects or transports mixed municipal solid waste in the county must obtain and maintain an operating license from the county. A hauler shall obtain and maintain a base license from the base county in order to be eligible for an operating license. Suspension or revocation of a hauler’s base license by the base county shall result in the summary suspension of the hauler’s operating license issued by the county. Revocation or suspension of the base license shall constitute sufficient basis for summary suspension of the county operating license in accordance herewith.
(B) All vehicles used by the hauler for the collection or transportation of mixed municipal solid waste within the county shall be included in the hauler’s base license application to the base county. The hauler shall affix a decal as required by the base county in a conspicuous place on the left side of the cab of the vehicle for which it was issued as directly by the base county. The hauler must maintain the license decal so that it is readily visible and legible at all times. Any vehicle not bearing the required decal shall be considered unlicensed.
(C) The business name and telephone number of the hauler shall be printed or painted in legible characters on both sides of all vehicles or containers used by the hauler to store, collect or transport mixed municipal solid waste in the county. The characters shall be at least four inches in height for all vehicles and at least two inches in height for all containers. This provision shall not apply to containers owned and maintained by a solid waste generator.
(D) The issuance of an operating license shall be subject to the provision of county ordinances and any other conditions set forth in this chapter or established by the Board of Commissioners.
