The County may waive a commercial business' obligation (including multi-family dwellings with five or more units) to comply with some or all of the SB 1383 organic waste requirements of this Chapter if the commercial business provides documentation or the County has evidence demonstrating that the commercial business generates below a certain amount of organic waste material as described below in subsection (a). Commercial businesses granted a de minimis waiver shall:
(a) Either provide documentation or confirm that the County has evidence demonstrating that:
(1) The commercial business' total solid waste collection service is two cubic yards or more per week and organic waste subject to collection in a blue container, green container, or brown container comprises less than 20 gallons per week per applicable container of the business' total waste; or
(2) The commercial business' total solid waste collection service is less than two cubic yards per week and organic waste subject to collection in a blue container, green container, or brown container comprise less than ten gallons per week per applicable container of the business' total waste.
