"RECYCLABLE MATERIAL." Any waste material generated by domestic use, as that term is defined in § 95.06 of this City Code, otherwise eligible for collection by city collection crews, that is designated by the City Board of Public Works and Safety as material eligible for collection as part of a recycling program. By way of example and not limitation, such materials may include glass, aluminum, and certain categories of paper products. Waste materials generated by commercial, industrial, or other sources not subject to collection by city collection crews shall not be included within this definition of "RECYCLABLE MATERIALS" for the purpose of this chapter, even though they are of a category of materials that would be subject to collection for recycling purposes if generated by domestic use.
"RECYCLING PROGRAM." A program wherein specific waste materials generated by domestic use, as designated by the City Board of Public Works and Safety, or its designee, are identified as being subject to special and separate collection for purposes of recycling and/or resale. Such a program shall be considered as commencing on a date certain as specified by the Board of Public Works and Safety, and may be of determinate or indeterminate duration. The provisions of this chapter shall be effective only during the term of a "RECYCLING PROGRAM" as defined herein.
"SPECIAL COLLECTION." A separate collection intended to collect recyclable materials generated by domestic use as part of a recycling program. Such collections may be made by city collection crews, or by private collection crews under contract with the Board of Public Works and Safety to provide such services during the term of any such contract, and upon the terms and conditions contained in any such city contract.
