Notwithstanding CMC 8.12.290(3), and in addition to the authority granted by CMC 8.12.220, nothing in this chapter shall prevent a commercial/industrial business owner or residential householder from, on a regular basis, collecting and disposing of solid waste generated in or on their premises using the generator’s own vehicles, equipment and employees, in lieu of availing themselves of the services of the collector. No residential householder or commercial/industrial business owner shall employ or engage any solid waste enterprise, other than a collector authorized by the city, to haul or transport such materials to a transfer station or landfill; provided, however, that any residential householder or commercial/industrial business owner who, pursuant to this section, seeks to collect and dispose of solid waste generated in or on their premises on a regular basis, must first obtain a self-haul permit from the city, and must comply with procedures for self-hauling adopted by the city council by resolution.

Persons operating under the provisions of this chapter or other applicable sections of this code for the purposes being classified as a self-hauler disposing of refuse, green waste, compost, or other organic or nonorganic matter, pursuant to the exceptions contained within the provisions set forth in this chapter, shall deposit such solid waste only at a lawfully permitted organics processing facility which has been approved by all jurisdictional entities. The city shall reserve the right to require self-haulers to report to the city the type, quantity, value, weight, and destination of all solid waste removed, processed, diverted from landfilling, and/or disposed of under the provisions set forth in this chapter.

Every self-hauler shall source separate its recyclable materials and organic materials (materials that the 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 Sections 18984.1 and 18984.2 and the city’s collection program. Self-haulers shall deliver their materials to facilities described in subsection (2) of this section. Alternatively, self-haulers may or choose not to source separate recyclable materials and organic materials and shall haul its solid waste (that includes recyclable materials and organic materials) to a high diversion organic waste processing facility that is approved by the city.

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.

Self-haulers that are responsible parties of multifamily/commercial/industrial/institutional establishments 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.
