8.04.218 Recyclable and organic materials self-hauling 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 B of this section.
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.
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 review by the city and/or its designee(s). The records shall include the following information:
1. Delivery receipts and weight tickets from the entity accepting the recyclable materials, organic materials, and solid waste.
2. The amount of material in cubic yards or tons transported by the generator or responsible party to each entity.
3. 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 of food waste shall retain all records and data required to be maintained by this section for no less than five years after the waste was first delivered to the facility accepting the material. (Ord. 1706 § 21, 2021)
