(A) Use of franchise waste hauler required.
(1) The city's franchised waste hauler must handle all construction and demolition material generated on a project site. The applicant, or the applicant's subcontractors, may not self-haul material to a disposal or diversion facility. An applicant may, however, acquire the services of an independent recycling company, so long as the recycling company does not charge a fee for bins nor bin service.
(2) The city's franchised waste hauler shall be required to divert from landfill at least 50% of the material received from a job site. If the franchised waste hauler guarantees 50% diversion, use of that franchise waste hauling service shall be deemed as complying with the 50% diversion requirement and any receipt issued by the waste hauler to the applicant shall constitute evidence of such diversion.
(B) Alternative hauler authorization. If the city's franchised waste hauler is unable to meet the 50% diversion requirement, the applicant must contact the Building Official immediately, and the Building Official can consider authorizing the use of alternative waste hauler(s) or recycler(s) that can meet the 50% diversion requirement.
(C) Record keeping. During the term of the demolition or construction project, the applicant shall keep all invoices from the franchised hauler or a record of all materials diverted and disposed in tonnage or in other measurements that can be converted to tonnage.
(D) Evaluation of recycling, disposal and salvage. The Building Official, or authorized designee, may monitor and evaluate all or selected projects to gauge the percentage of materials recycled, salvaged and disposed. Diversion will be measured separately with respect to the demolition segment and the construction segment of a project where both demolition and construction are involved.
(E) Separation standards. To the maximum extent feasible as determined by the City Engineer, Building Inspector or designee on-site separation of scrap wood and clean green waste in a designated debris box or boxes shall be arranged in order to permit chipping and mulching for soil enhancement or land cover purposes. In order to protect chipping and grinding machinery, metal and other materials, which cannot be chipped or ground, shall not be placed in such boxes.
(F) W allboard. On-site separation shall be undertaken for wallboard to the extent feasible on new construction.
