13.24.320 Medical waste.

A. Notwithstanding the requirements of section 13.24.310, franchisees are not required to divert treated medical waste. Such waste shall not be included in determining a franchisee's compliance with the diversion requirements set forth in section 13.24.310. B. All franchisees must nevertheless report on a quarterly basis to the city all combined or separately collected treated medical waste tonnage disposed of during the previous quarter by disposal location. The city must establish guidelines, forms, and other appropriate material to assist franchisees in preparing such reports. A franchisee's failure to file the required treated medical waste disposal reports shall constitute cause for termination or suspension of its franchise pursuant to section 13.24.210. C. No treated medical waste from commercial solid waste generators shall be delivered by a franchisee to a materials recovery facility for the purpose of recycling. (Ord. 2021-0003 § 15)
