(C) The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (the “Act” sometimes referred to as “AB 939”) requires the city to divert, through a combination of source reduction and recycling programs, 50% of its solid waste from landfill disposal by the year 2000; and
(D) Uniformity in the type and frequency of collection services, means of collection and transportation, type of equipment used, and the nature, location, reporting information and extent of providing solid waste collection services within the city are vital for compliance with statutory requirements set forth by the Act; and
(E) This Chapter 8.08 of the Monrovia Municipal Code shall institute standards for the establishment and maintenance of an exclusive system to provide residential solid waste collection, recycling and disposal services; and
