All solid waste accumulated in the town shall be collected, conveyed and disposed of by the town. No person shall collect, convey over any of the streets or alleys of the town or dispose of any solid waste accumulated in the town. It is an affirmative defense to any prosecution in the Municipal Court of the town or any other court of competent jurisdiction that: the collection, conveyance or disposal is being done by any duly authorized officer, agent, employee, independent contractor or franchisee of the town; or the collection, conveyance or disposal is being done by actual producers of the solid waste, or the owners of premises upon which the solid waste has accumulated, provided such producers or owners comply with the provisions of this chapter and with any other governing law, or ordinances or regulations prescribed by the town or the Mayor; provided, however, that such actual producers shall still be required to pay all fees required by § 51.07.
