§ 8.64.020. Policy.  


Latest version.
  • The accumulation, collection, removal and disposal of solid waste must be controlled by the city for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare and to contribute toward the diminution of health hazards and pollution in the city. The city council finds that to give practical effect to this policy, a comprehensive system for the periodic collection, removal and disposal of solid waste from all premises in the city is essential and benefits all occupants of premises in the city; and therefore, all such occupants, except those exempt, are made liable for the solid waste collection charges established by the city council for the collection and disposal of solid waste.
