(A) Nothing contained in this chapter shall prohibit any person or commercial business from selling recyclable materials or giving recyclable materials away to persons or entities other than the city's contractor, provided, however, in either instance:
(1) The recyclable materials must be segregated from and not mixed with solid waste; and
(2) The seller/donor may not pay the buyer/donee any consideration or consulting fee for recycling services or for collecting, processing or transporting such recyclable materials. A discount or reduction in price for collection, disposal and/or recycling services for any form of unsegregated or segregated solid waste is not a qualifying sale or donation of recyclable materials per this exception.
(B) Nothing herein contained shall inhibit, regulate or restrict any recycling center, nonprofit drop-off program or recycling processor as permitted by state law.
