General. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, and except as provided in Section 13.10.640 of this article, collection service for owners and tenants within the district shall be provided exclusively by the contractor selected pursuant to the procedures specified in this article. Accordingly, from and after the effective date of the collection services agreement required by Section 13.10.650:
A. No person, firm or entity who is not the contractor shall collect garbage, rubbish or refuse of any type within the district; and
B. No owner or tenant within the district shall solicit collection service from, or enter into any contract with a provider of collection services who is not the contractor.
Nothing in this article shall be construed to grant the contractor the exclusive right to collect recyclables within the district; provided, however, that in the event that the laws of the state of California are amended to allow the city to grant an exclusive right to collect recyclables, the city manager shall have the authority to amend any agreement with the contractor to provide for such rights. (Ord. 2013-0009 § 3; Ord. 2000-036 § 2(b); Ord. 2000-017 § 2(f); Ord. 99-056 § 1; prior code § 19.07.704)
