Residential households and other commercial, industrial and institutional generators may implement an environmentally sound alternative form of disposal. The alternative form of disposal must be in compliance with all laws and regulations relating thereto, but may not involve burying, burning, accumulation or transportation of solid waste to a facility not licensed for receipt and processing of same. Generators wishing to be allowed to pursue alternatives shall be required to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer that they have arrangements in place and that they are permitted by law. Generators failing to demonstrate environmentally acceptable alternatives will be required to contract and pay for collection from a commercial hauler. Generators wishing to appeal a decision of the City Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer regarding alternative disposal methods may do so within 30 days of notice of the City Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer’s decision by giving written notice to the city of the generator’s appeal. The appeal shall be made to the City Council and shall be accompanied by additional information as the generator believes will allow the City Council to determine whether the alternative disposal method proposed by the generator is environmentally adequate and likely to be implemented. The Council may condition its approval of alternative disposal methods in a manner, including requiring the production of written contracts or financial guarantees, as the Council may determine to be needed to ensure compliance with this chapter.
