In all cases where the right to an exclusion pursuant to Sections 6.08.220 through 6.08.270 of this chapter is exercised, disposal shall be made at a disposal or processing facility which meets all applicable regulatory requirements. Any such disposal by a person exempted under this section shall not relieve such person from any obligation or liability imposed by this chapter or any other city ordinance, resolution, rule or regulation for the payment of the minimum solid waste and recyclables collection rates imposed by the authorized collector pursuant to this chapter, or of any other applicable rates or fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall be exempt from the payment of the solid waste and recyclables collection rates imposed for use of the services provided by the authorized collector:
(a) Any person with a valid self-haul permit obtained pursuant to Section 6.08.270 who does not use the solid waste collection services offered by the authorized collector; and
(b) Any owner of vacant property who does not use the solid waste and recyclables collection services offered by the authorized collector, for the period of time the property is vacant.
