A. Pursuant to Division 30, Part 3, Chapter 8 of the Public Resources Code Sections 41900 et seq., the city may issue one or more contracts, permits or franchises and may levy fees upon contractors and premises for refuse collection, transfer and disposal, and the collection and transfer of recyclable and compostables. Such fees may include charges for the use of dumpsters, landfills and may include costs of preparing and implementing source reduction and recycling elements and integrated waste management plans. The city may also impose and collect from its contractor, permittee or franchisee a fee for the long-term right to use the city streets, as compensation for the grant of a right-of-way to provide vital public services with a degree of permanence and stability. The city may determine to collect all or part of such charges on the tax roll, or by such other means as the council may elect, whether or not delinquent.
B. City council may by resolution, waive permit or franchise fees for recyclers and collectors of compostables. (Ord. 119 § 2, 1993)
