Except as provided in Section 8.28.130 below, any owner of any premises may contract only with the city for special haul service for the removal of refuse or rubble in residential containers or commercial bins or boxes, except construction, demolition, tree trimming and yard maintenance contractors may remove rubble and/or recyclables produced as a result of their contract service if transported in equipment owned by the contractor, and only upon receiving authorization in writing from the Director for removal of construction rubble and recyclables.
A. In addition to the required minimum refuse services as determined in section 8.28.050 above and provided by the City or its authorized designee, an owner or occupant of any premises may self-haul refuse and rubble generated on their premises to an appropriate county disposal site, another city-designated sanitary fill site, hazardous waste collection site, or organics or recycling collection facility. The owner or occupant is, however, still required to maintain minimum City provided refuse services as defined in section 8.28.050 above, and pay all associated fees for the service as established by the city.
B. All refuse and rubble hauled by any person (or firm) over public streets in the city shall be securely covered during hauling thereof so as to prevent leakage, spillage, or blowing. No person shall allow refuse or rubble of any kind whatsoever to leak, spill, blow or drop from any vehicle onto any public street within the city. The cost of cleanup associated with any such spillage shall be borne by the owner of the vehicle transporting the material.
