The Mayor or his or her duly authorized representative shall provide by rule or regulation for the disposal of all solid wastes at either the city landfill or, in his or her discretion, he or she may contract for disposal at any other landfill or disposal site within the county for all solid waste collected by city forces or an independent contractor; provided, however, that any independent contractor may by agreement with the city have ownership of solid waste vested in the contractor and subject to disposal in the contractor’s discretion, insofar as such disposal abides by all conditions, rules or regulations of state and local authorities at the disposal site.
