Redwood City Municipal Code § 14.36 Trucks—washing, Painting and Numbering

A. All garbage collected in the City shall be hauled in all-steel watertight bodied motor trucks, and taken to the dump or incinerator in such a manner as not to be needlessly offensive and filthy in relation to any person, place, building, premises or highway. The truck bodies shall be constructed of iron of sufficient strength as to withstand a fire within, without endangering adjacent property. Each truck shall be equipped with a tarpaulin or other suitable covering which shall be drawn over the load as completed to full depth. All refuse in the truck shall be completely covered between points of collection and disposal.

B. This Division 3 shall not apply to persons who have successfully obtained a waiver and/or a self-haul permit from the City pursuant to Section 14.2 and/or Section 14.22 of this Chapter.

(Ord. No. 2555, § 3(Exh. A), 11-24-25)

The bodies of the garbage trucks shall be washed at least once a week and painted once each year and otherwise appear as neat as possible under the circumstances. Each truck shall be numbered and the number thereof shall appear on the side of the truck in numbers not smaller than six (6) inches high.

(Ord. No. 2555, § 3(Exh. A), 11-24-25)

In the event the removal of rubbish or waste matter is required in quantities in excess of facilities provided by the refuse collector, or in the event the City may elect to utilize the same for filling or other purposes, the right is reserved to make use of City equipment for this purpose and the same will be provided at a reasonable cost to those who for lack of facilities at hand or otherwise are unable to secure the services of the refuse collector and are unable to comply with the terms of this Chapter.
