(A) Inspection of containers and vehicles. City representatives and/or its designated entity are authorized to conduct inspections and investigations, at random or otherwise, of any collection container (placed out on curb during collection day), collection vehicle loads, or transfer, processing, or disposal facility for materials collected from generators, or source separated materials to confirm compliance with this chapter by organic waste generators, commercial businesses, property owners, commercial edible food generators, haulers, self-haulers, food recovery services, and food recovery organizations, subject to applicable laws.
(B) Access for inspections.
