Sec. 14-6. Self-haul.
1.It shall be unlawful to hire any other person to haul solid waste, organic waste or recyclable material they have generated besides the City’s franchisee except in the following circumstances:
a.Residents and businesses may self-haul to a solid waste, organic waste, recycling, or donation facility.
b.A commercial business may self-haul as an ancillary service to the primary work provided by the business, including but not limited to landscaping, gardening, construction, and demolition companies.
c.Persons engaged in the business of destroying or disposing of secret, confidential or sensitive documents may transport and dispose of said documents as part of their services.
d.Donations of material, if the collecting agency does not receive monetary compensation.
2.Self-hauler requirements:
a.Every self-hauler shall source separate its recyclable materials and organic materials (materials that City otherwise requires generators or responsible parties to separate for collection in the City’s recyclable materials and organic materials collection program) generated on site from solid waste in a manner consistent with 14 CCR Section 18984.1 and the City’s collection program. Self-haulers shall deliver their materials to facilities described in subsection (2)(b) of this section. Alternatively, self-haulers that choose not to source separate recyclable materials and organic materials shall haul their solid waste (including recyclable materials and organic materials) to a high diversion organic waste processing facility that is approved by the City.
b.Self-haulers that source separate their recyclable materials and organic materials shall haul their source separated recyclable materials to a facility that recovers those materials; haul their source separated organic waste to a facility, operation, activity, or property that processes or recovers source separated organic waste; and haul their solid waste to a disposal facility or transfer facility or operation that processes or disposes of solid waste; and transport manure to a facility that manages manure in conformance with 14 CCR Article 12 and such that the manure is not landfilled, used as alternative daily cover (ADC), or used as alternative intermediate cover (AIC).
c.Self-haulers that are responsible parties of commercial businesses or multifamily premises shall keep records of the amount of recyclable materials, organic waste, and solid waste delivered to each facility, operation, activity, or property that processes or recovers recyclable materials and organic waste and processes or disposes of solid waste or shall keep records of solid waste delivered to high diversion organic waste processing facilities. These records shall be subject to inspection by the City or its designee. The records shall include the following information:
i.Delivery receipts and weight tickets from the entity accepting the recyclable materials, organic materials, and solid waste.
ii.The amount of material in cubic yards or tons transported by the generator or responsible party to each entity.
iii.If the material is transported to an entity that does not have scales on site or employs scales incapable of weighing the self-hauler’s vehicle in a manner that allows it to determine the weight of materials received, the self-hauler is not required to record the weight of material but shall keep a record of the entities that received the recyclable materials, organic materials, and solid waste.
d.Self-haulers shall retain all records and data required to be maintained by this section for no less than five (5) years after the recyclable materials, organic materials, and/or solid waste was first delivered to the facility accepting the material.
e.Self-haulers that are commercial businesses or multifamily premises shall provide copies of records required by this section to City if requested by the City and shall provide the records at the frequency requested by the City.
f.A single-family generator or single-family responsible party that self-hauls recyclable materials, organic waste, or solid waste is not required to record or report information in subsections (2)(c) and (d) of this section.
g.Pursuant to 14 CCR Section 18815.9, food waste self-haulers are required to maintain records and report to CalRecycle information on the tons of food waste self-hauled and the facilities or each use of such material. Food waste self-haulers shall provide to the City on a quarterly basis copies of all reports they are required to report to CalRecycle. (Ord. 3642 § 2, 2021)
