No waste hauler shall collect wastes from within the corporate limits of the city or shall dump or dispose of wastes, whether from a source inside or outside the corporate limits of the city, into the city POTW or mudpit waste disposal area without first obtaining a waste hauler’s license from the city.

(1) Application form. An application form developed and furnished by the Director shall be completed and submitted by the waste hauler for each vehicle to be licensed.
(2) Inspection. The wastewater treatment plant, upon application, should inspect the waste hauling vehicle and associated equipment and determine if it meets the minimum qualifications for complying with the conditions of this subchapter. Vehicles with a rated capacity in excess of 2,500 gallons will be approved only upon special authorization of the Director.
(3) License fee. An application for a waste hauler’s license shall require the payment of a fee of $50 for each vehicle used by the applicant.
