(A) No person, firm, or corporation shall discharge, deposit, dump, or place any refuse, or cause or permit the discharging, depositing, dumping, or placing of any refuse, on any premises in the county other than an area or facility that is permitted by the Agency at the time of the discharging, depositing, dumping, or placing of refuse. Exempt from this rule are private property owners composting waste that was generated on the property in question as allowed by law, clean demolition debris as allowed by law, and recycling facilities accepting one or more of the following clean materials for recycling: paper and paper products, glass, plastics, ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
(B) No person, firm, or corporation, owning, controlling, or operating any vehicle used for the purpose of collecting, carrying, transporting, or hauling refuse in the county shall cause or permit any vehicle to be so loaded, out of repair, constructed, or operated so that any refuse with which the vehicle is loaded shall blow, fall, drop, spill, or otherwise leave the vehicle in any place other than at a permitted refuse disposal facility.
(C) No person, firm, or corporation shall move any vehicle used for the purpose of collecting or hauling refuse, or cause or permit the vehicle to be moved in the county at any time, unless the doors and covers on the vehicles are closed and fastened or locked.
(D) No person, firm, or corporation shall burn any refuse or cause or permit the burning of any refuse in the county except at a state permitted and/or licensed incineration facility, and then only those materials specified in the permit may be burned. Also, landscape waste including brush, tree limbs, and other unprocessed wood waste may be burned on the property at which the waste was generated, so long as it is done in such a manner that does not present a fire hazard nor is offensive to any occupants of any nearby dwelling. The fire must at all times be monitored by a responsible party and must not violate the orders of any Fire Department officials or state or local laws governing open burning.
(E) Clean concrete (no re-bar or other debris), asphalt, brick, or rock that is dumped at a licensed refuse disposal facility may be set aside to be used for road improvements only on the permitted premises. All other refuse must be deposited in the designated disposal area.
(F) All-weather operational roads shall be provided for vehicular movement within the area of any permitted disposal facility. When necessary to prevent dust, operational roads shall be surfaced or treated.
(G) All licensed refuse hauling vehicles shall be inspected by the Inspector no less than once every 12 months with the annual inspections being conducted at the time of license application or renewal. Any discovery of unsafe or unsanitary conditions or violations of this subchapter by the Inspector shall be communicated immediately verbally to the owner of the vehicle, and then in writing as soon as is possible with a time limit for correction of the condition(s) in violation. The annual refuse hauling license may not be issued or may be suspended if the seriousness of the violation so warrants based on the opinion of the Inspector.
(H) Reasonable extensions of the time limit to correct violations may be granted by the Inspector or the County Board upon request in writing, and upon proof of good cause for extension or that an honest effort is being made to correct the violation(s).
(I) The Inspector shall keep a record showing the date and findings/results of each inspection of refuse hauling vehicles and shall keep a record of any enforcement action and follow-up taken against the same.
(J) The Inspector shall have the right to enter any premises or facility for the purposes of conducting a regular inspection or special inspection in response to a complaint at any and all times.
