§ 4.150.030. Provision for and supervision by city.¶
The city shall provide for the collection and disposal or processing of discarded materials from all premises required to be served within the city. Such provision may be made either by letting a contract for such collection and removal or otherwise. The city or, if collection and removal services are contracted for, the franchisee, shall have charge and supervision of such collection and removal and shall prescribe and establish routes and days for collection of discarded materials from the various parts of the city so as to conform to the provisions of this chapter and may change the same from time to time. When such routes or days of collection are established or changed, not less than 10 days prior to the effect of such change, notice thereof shall be given to all parties concerned.

§ 4.150.040. Persons authorized to collect, dispose of, and process discarded materials.¶
The city and its duly authorized agents, servants and employees or any franchisee with whom the city may at any time enter into a contract therefor, and the agents, servants and employees of franchisee, while any such contract shall be in force, shall have the exclusive right and obligation to collect and dispose of or process discarded materials from all premises in the city.
This chapter shall not prohibit anyone licensed to do business in the city of South Lake Tahoe, during the course of performing the contracted duties, from collecting and disposing of C&D from a job upon which they are working in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations then in effect. Individuals may not enter into a contract with anyone other than the city's duly authorized agents for the collection, disposal, and/or processing of discarded materials from premises within the city. This does not preclude individuals or businesses from legally disposing of discarded materials from their own properties or properties which they manage pursuant to contract.
