§ 8.60.120. Solid waste reduction program.

As a privilege, and not as a right, each single-family residential unit may be offered the opportunity to participate in a solid waste reduction program which is designed to reduce the amount of mixed solid waste by allowing separate collection of recyclables, yard waste, organics, and other compostable materials. It is intended that the cost saving to the city be passed along to the participating residential unit as reflected in the cost for services as adopted by the city council. In electing to participate in the solid waste reduction program, every responsible person agrees to sort and separate or to cause the sorting and separating of their solid waste as follows:

A.

Recyclable Container. Only recyclables, as defined in this chapter and within size and weight limitations specified, may be deposited in any regulation container provided by the city and designated for collection of recyclables.

B.

Yard Waste Container. Only yard waste, as defined in this chapter and within size and weight limitations specified, may be deposited in any regulation container provided by the city and designated for collection of yard waste.

C.

Mixed Waste Container. Mixed solid waste, as defined in this chapter, may be deposited in any regulation container provided by the city and designated for collection of mixed waste.

D.

Other Approved Containers. Organics and other compostable materials may be deposited in any container designated by the city for such material.
