A. Liability: Compliance with this chapter does not act to shift any liability legally accruing to the generator, collector or facility owner or operator to the City. The City functions as a regulator only and is not participating in the management of any waste generation, collection or facility operation other than its own waste generation and disposal processes.
B. Generator's Indemnification: Each generator of waste residing within the City shall take all reasonable precautions necessary to protect the public from injury and shall defend, indemnify and save the City harmless from any liability, claims, damages, costs, judgments, expenses and claims of damages that may arise by reason of any tort claim for bodily or personal injury, disease, death or damage to property resulting directly or indirectly from an act or omission of the generator including any generator acting as a collector and self transporter by transporting that generator's own waste to a facility.
C. Collector's Indemnification: Each collector of waste operating within the City shall take all reasonable precautions necessary to protect the public from injury and shall defend, indemnify and save the City harmless from any liability, claims, damages, costs, judgments, expenses and claims of damages that may arise by reason of any tort claim for bodily or personal injury, disease, death or damage to property resulting directly or indirectly from an act or omission of the collector, its agents, employees, or independent contractors, or anyone for whom any of them may be liable.
D. Facility Indemnification: Each facility of any type located within the City shall take all reasonable precautions necessary to protect the public from injury and shall defend, indemnify and save the City harmless from any liability, claims, damages, costs, judgments, expense and claims of damages that may arise by reason of any tort claim for bodily or personal injury, disease, death or damage to property resulting directly or indirectly from an act or omission of the facility owner or operator, their agents, employees, or independent contractors, or anyone for whom any of them may be liable.
