A. A business, non-residential property, multi-family residential property, owner, or generator, may haul or transport recyclable materials or organic material generated and collected at its business, non-residential property, or multi-family residential property to a recycling facility (rather than hiring a franchised waste hauler) only if an owner, generator, employee, or tenant of the entity completes this activity by utilizing a vehicle owned by either an employee or the entity.
B. A business, non-residential property, multi-family residential property, owner, or generator, may designate a third party to self-haul bulky items, recyclable materials or organic material and represent the owner, generator, employee, or tenant of the entity.
C. A business, non-residential property, or multi-family residential property that hauls or transports recyclable materials or organic material generated and collected at its business, non-residential property, or multi-family residential property, to a recycling facility without the utilization of a franchised waste hauler must complete and submit, for review by the solid waste manager a self-hauling form that certifies that all self-hauling activities will be completed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter or any other applicable law or regulation. The self-hauling form shall be made available to the solid waste manager within 10 business days upon request. At a minimum, the business, non-residential property, multi-family residential property, owner, or generator, shall provide the following information on the self-hauling form:
1. The name, address, and telephone number of the business, non-residential property, or multi-family residential property representative that is signing the self-hauling form;
2. A list of the types of materials that are being transported;
3. For each type of recyclable material or organic material, the amount that is being taken from the business, non-residential property, or multi-family residential property to a recycling facility; and
4. The name and address of the recycling facility.
D. The self-hauling form must contain a written statement, signed by the business, non-residential property, multi-family residential property, owner, or generator, certifying compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
E. The solid waste manager may restrict or prohibit self-hauling by a person if it is determined that the person's self-hauling activities violate the provisions of this chapter or any other applicable law or regulation.
F. Within 60 days from the date of receipt of a self-haul application, the city shall determine whether the self-haul application complies with the requirements of this chapter and, based on that determination, shall approve or disapprove the self-haul application. If the city fails to approve or disapprove the self-haul application within such 60-day period, the city is deemed to have approved the self-haul application.
G. Any business, non-residential property, or multi-family residential property approved application to self-haul recyclable or organic material shall keep a record of the amount of waste material delivered to each solid waste facility, operation, activity, or property that processes or recovers recyclable or organic waste. Records shall be made available to the solid waste manager upon request. The records shall include the following information:
1. Delivery receipts and weight tickets from the entity accepting the recyclable or organic material;
2. The amount of waste material, in cubic yards or tons, the generator delivered to each entity; and
3. A record of the entities that received the waste materials. (Ord. 2021-0031 § 12; Ord. 2021-0003 § 15)
