(2) No person shall provide solid waste and recyclable materials handling services in the city unless that person has entered into a collection agreement with the city for exclusive solid waste and recyclable materials handling services, except as otherwise specifically provided in this chapter.

(3) Solid waste enterprises providing solid waste and/or recyclable materials handling services from commercial/industrial premises in the city on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter under a permit or a nonexclusive collection agreement may continue to provide such services only until the rights thereunder are terminated or revoked, or until such rights expire pursuant to the provisions of Section 49520 of the Public Resources Code, so long as such collectors comply with the provisions of this chapter.

(4) Any collection agreement shall be in addition to any business license or permit otherwise required by this code.
