Inglewood Municipal Code § 7-44 Disposal of By-products. Permit Required

It shall be unlawful for any person to place, or permit another, except the City or a contract agent of said City, to carry away from his premises any salvage, refuse, garbage, food plant waste, market refuse or byproducts (except suet, tallow, bones or meat trimmings that the owner or producer thereof can sell for a price greater than his cost, if any, of hauling said refuse to the point of delivery) without first securing a written permit from the Permits and Licenses Committee to treat such material as byproducts.

Application for such permit shall be filed and processed, and appeal from an adverse determination by the Committee shall be made, in the form and manner designated in the chapter and article of this Code governing the processing of permits before the Permits and Licenses Committee; provided, however, that a hearing shall be set within twenty-one days from the date an application is filed; and provided, further, that the Committee and City Council (in the event of appeal) shall reach a determination within ten days from the conclusion of the hearing.

The following standards shall govern the Committee in issuing any permit pursuant to this Article:

(1) A permit may be issued if the net cost of the disposing of the refuse referred to in Section 7-44 is less than one-half of the charge established for the disposal of such refuse hereinafter set forth in this Article.

(2) Conditions may be imposed upon the granting of any permit necessary to protect the public health, peace and safety.

(3) As a condition upon the granting of any permit, the applicant shall pay a minimum refuse collection charge and such further charges as applicable to the quantity involved in accordance with the rates established therefor in this Article.

(4) If, in the City's judgment, neither the City nor its contract agent can pick up salvageable material or by-products, a permit may be issued to permit the owner to do so without charge or fee therefor.

The Permits and Licenses Committee may grant a permit for a single disposal operation or for such period of time, not to exceed one year, as it may determine; provided, however, that during the months of November and December of any year, the Committee may grant a permit for a period of time extending until December 31 of the following year.
