Organic waste generators shall subscribe to a three container collection service which includes a blue container, green container and gray container, and shall comply with the following requirements:
(A) Shall subscribe to city's organic waste collection services for all organic waste generated as described in division (B) below. The city or its designee shall have the right to review the number and size of a generator's containers to evaluate adequacy of capacity provided for each type of collection service for proper separation of materials and containment of materials; single-family generators shall adjust their service level for their collection services as requested by the city or its designee. Nothing in this section prohibits an organic waste generator from preventing or reducing waste generation, managing organic waste on site, or using a community composting site pursuant to 14 CCR § 18984.9(c).
(B) Shall participate in the city's organic waste collection service(s) by placing designated materials in designated containers as described below, and shall not place prohibited container contaminants in collection containers:
(1) Generators shall place source separated green container organic waste, including food waste, in the green container; source separated recyclable materials in the blue container; and gray container waste in the gray container.
(2) Generators shall not place materials designated for the gray container into the green container or blue container.
(C) Any materials self-hauled must be hauled to facilities permitted to accept source separated green container organic waste (including food waste), source separated recyclable materials, and gray container waste. Nothing in this division shall relieve self-haulers that generate waste from subscribing to a three container collection service.
