§ 12-113. Collection of compostable materials.

Haulers shall collect from residential customers and segregate from other refuse all grass clippings and leaves which have been separated from other refuse and placed in bags designed for compostable materials. Haulers shall report to the sanitarian the amount, by weight, of the leaves and grass clippings delivered to compost disposal sites approved by the county for the four-month periods ending April 30, August 31 and December 31. The reports shall be submitted within 15 days following the end of each four-month period. Licensed haulers shall provide to customers, upon a customer's request, a yard waste container with close-fitting top for grass clippings, leaves and source separated compostable materials (SSCM). The containers shall be constructed of non-combustible materials, including the cover. The containers shall be at least 30 gallons in size, and provided to customers at a charge, if any, determined by the licensed hauler.
