A. Single-family organic waste generators
1. Shall be automatically enrolled in the city's integrated waste collection services with a source separated blue recyclable materials container, and with a source separated green organic waste container, approved by the Public Works Director or his or her designee. City shall have the authority to change the minimum required levels of service over time. City shall have the right to review the number, size, and location of a generator's containers to evaluate adequacy of capacity provided for each type of collection service for proper separation of materials and containment of materials; and generator shall adjust its service level for its collection services as requested by the city.
2. Shall participate in the city's three-container system for source separated blue container recyclable materials, source separated green container organic materials, and gray container waste collection services. Generator participation in the collection programs requires that generators place source separated green container organic waste, including food waste, in the green container; source separated recyclable materials in the blue container; and gray container waste in the gray container. Generators shall not place materials designated for the gray container into the green container or blue container, nor place materials designated for the green container or blue container into the gray container.
3. Nothing in this section prohibits a generator from preventing or reducing waste generation, managing organic waste through backyard residential composting, and/or using a community composting site.
