B. Prohibit any person from transporting or disposing of or resource recovering sewage sludge, septic tank pumpings and cesspool pumpings or like effluents;

C. Prohibit federal and state agencies to collect, store, transport or dispose of solid waste or those who contract with such agencies to perform such collection service, but only insofar as the service is performed by or for such agencies;

D. Prohibit any person from transporting solid waste through the City that is neither collected nor disposed of within the City;

E. Prohibit any City property owner or resident from personally or by use of a solid waste hauler of their choice from transporting and/or disposing of demolition, construction or land clearing solid wastes; (Ord. 6-1997 § 1, 1997.)

F. Prohibit any person from transporting or disposing of waste produced as an integral or incidental part of the regular operation of their business, including but not limited to, gardening or landscaping service, rendering, janitorial service, and motor vehicle wrecking;

G. Prohibit the collection, transportation and reuse of repairable or cleanable discards by private charitable organizations regularly engaged in such business or activity, including, but without limitation, Salvation Army, Goodwill, St. Vincent DePaul and similar groups;

H. Prohibit nonprofit charitable, benevolent or civic organizations from recycling recyclable materials, provided that such collection is not a regular or periodic business of such organization, provided that a permit be first obtained for such activity from the City Recorder, and that such permit or permits be valid for a period of not more than four weeks and provided that said organization shall notify the licensee in the area in which such activity is to take place in advance of commencing such “recycling collection.”

I. If a person other than described above and other than a licensee hereunder, desires to collect recyclable materials, a permit may be issued for such collection, if the City Council by resolution determines that the material being collected is not one of the materials normally or customarily collected as part of the City’s recycling collection program or solid waste collection program and the same will not be detrimental to the recycling program. A fee may be charged for such permit as established by the Council resolution. All applicable provisions of this chapter shall apply to permits granted under this subsection.

J. Nothing contained in this chapter shall require a licensee to store, collect or dispose of or otherwise deal with any hazardous waste as defined by ORS Chapter 466. Nothing shall prohibit the City from withdrawing by amendment to this chapter certain solid waste collection services upon finding that such services are not necessary for the implementation of or the purposes of this chapter.
