(1) No provisions of this section shall be construed as making it mandatory on the city to collect or provide for the collection of garbage or rubbish, and no liability on the part of the city shall result from its failure or inability for any reason to provide for such collection.

(D) It shall be a violation of the section for any person not having proper permission from or arrangement with the city to haul any refuse within any area of the city in which refuse collection service is maintained by the city.

Excess refuse from commercial establishments may be collected by the city on a charge basis as determined by the City Council.
