It is optional whether the city:
A. Collects garbage and rubbish with its own equipment and employees; or
B. Makes a contract with a person to collect garbage; or
C. Issues permits to a person or persons to collect garbage and rubbish.
The city council shall elect by resolution the method or methods to be used in the collection of garbage and rubbish, which may be changed from time to time.
If the city council elects to permit the collection of garbage and rubbish other than by contract, it may issue permits to applicants upon the payment of a one hundred dollar ($100.00) permit fee. Each permit shall expire one year from the date of issuance. The city council may, by resolution, establish regulations necessary to protect the public health which each permit holder must obey. Upon the holder's failure to comply with the rules established or the provisions of this chapter, the city council may revoke the permit. (Ord. 70, 2-7-1972)
