The Director may grant such waiver if he or she finds that the proper sanitation of the City and the preservation of the health of the inhabitants thereof will not be affected by the waiver. 3. A waiver may only be granted for subscription to Organic Materials and/or Recyclable Materials Collection Services if the property owner can demonstrate that he/she is Diverting those materials in another manner that is consistent with State statutes and regulations and therefore meets the requirements for a De Minimis Waiver. a.

The records shall include the following information: a. Delivery receipts and weight tickets from the entity accepting the material. If the material is transported to an entity that does not have scales on-site or employs scales incapable of weighing the self-hauler’s vehicle in a manner that allows it to determine the weight of materials received, the self-hauler is not required to record the weight of material but shall keep a record of the entities that received the organic materials. b. The amount of material in cubic yards or tons transported by the generator to each entity. c. If requested by the Director, complete and remit a self-hauling form certifying that all self- hauling activities will be completed in accordance with this Chapter or any other applicable law or regulation.
