Fairfield Municipal Code Art. II Collection Agreements

The City Council may authorize, by contract, one or more Solid Waste Enterprises to provide Solid Waste Collection Services for Residential Householders and Commercial/Industrial Premise users or customers, including but not limited to the Collection of Construction and Demolition Waste. In the sole discretion of the council, the Solid Waste Collection Services may be authorized on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, and with or without competitive bidding, and may relate to any class or type of Solid Waste within all or any part of the territory of the City.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nonexclusive Construction and Demolition Waste Collection Agreements may be approved by the City Manager.

Authorized Collectors operating In the City on the effective date of this Chapter under a nonexclusive Collection Agreement may continue to operate 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.
