(B) The City Council may allow the following group recycling efforts when a written request and recycling program description is received and approved by the City Council.
(1) Recycling centers. Groups involved in recycling efforts may establish permanent recycling centers by complying with local land use regulations and complying with city ordinances regulating the general health, safety, welfare and well-being of the residents of the city. Temporary recycling locations may be established by receiving permission from the City Council. Public review by the City Council will occur through the public hearing process described in the zoning ordinance.

(3) Composting. A person may establish a compost pile or bin or box using yard wastes and nonputrescible solid wastes (except body wastes). Compost facilities may be permitted when maintained in such a manner to not give off offensive odors, drain into groundwater, leak onto the ground or attract insects or rodents.
(4) Coordination with collection contractor. The approved collection contractor has the primary responsibility for collection and handling of recyclable materials. Group recycling efforts should be coordinated with the collection contractor.
