The city encourages recycling whenever possible. In order to facilitate this, the city shall operate a program of recycling to the extent that the same is commercially feasible and viable as determined from time to time by the city. This may include any recycled or recyclable materials. The city may appoint one or more of its officials or employees to act as the city’s broker of these materials. Recycled materials may include aluminum cans, scrap metals, tires, cardboard, or other materials for which the city may obtain a market for disposal other than in a landfill. The city may establish such administrative processes and procedures as it shall determine to be appropriate for the operation of the recycling program(s). For the recycling of items for which the city will incur expenses for disposal, such as used tires, the city shall be authorized to collect such reasonable disposal fees as the city may determine by resolution. For recycling of items for which the city may realize some income or financial benefit, the city may be authorized to pay reasonable rates to the person or entity delivering such material to the city’s recycling center as the city’s broker may determine.
