In order to more effectively regulate, control, and monitor the amount of recyclables being deposited in landfills and document the amount diverted from the solid waste stream, it is in the best interest of the city to require those persons desiring to gather, collect, transport, or otherwise dispose of recyclables to obtain from the city a permit to do so. Said permit to gather, collect, transport, or otherwise dispose of recyclables shall be nonexclusive. Each permit awarded hereunder shall specifically describe the type of recyclable material to be collected and disposed of. Any person desiring to obtain a recycling hauler permit to collect, gather, transport, or otherwise dispose of recyclables shall pay a fee and make an application as set forth in guidelines determined by the city manager or his designee.
