§ 9-56-10. Sanitary landfills, other places of disposal and disposal fees.

A.

The city may establish sanitary landfills or other places of disposal as may be necessary, and no person shall use any disposal facility or sanitary landfill or other place of disposal except with the approval of the director and in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated under this article.

B.

All sanitary landfills, incinerators or other collection stations operated by or on behalf of the city, either within or without the city limits, shall have disposal fees established, and all persons (other than persons in passenger-type vehicles hauling refuse emanating from a private residence) shall pay a disposal fee based on rates established by the director of solid waste.

An appropriate handling or incinerator disposal fee shall be charged at any transfer station or incinerator for all haulers (other in persons in passenger-type vehicles hauling solid waste emanating from a private residence), as established by the director.

C.

The director shall be authorized to promulgate reasonable rules and regulations for the collection of such fees, including collection at the landfills, incinerators or other collection stations, or the sale of coupon books at one or more locations, with coupons to be given upon the presentation of a vehicle for dumping at the landfill, incinerator or transfer station. The director shall also make reasonable rules and regulations as shall be necessary to carry out the inspection, supervision and enforcement of fees.

D.

All vehicles transporting solid waste shall be enclosed at the sides and the back and covered with a tarpaulin or methods established by the director so as to reasonably avoid spilling solid waste, disseminating odors, and attracting insects, and the director may establish such reasonable time when such vehicles may be presented for dumping. Vehicles which are not covered a tarpaulin or other approved cover shall not be allowed to dump at the landfill, incinerator and/or transfer station.
