The department retains any proceeds from sale of rec yclables.
Loads including non-rec yclable solid waste are charged as a regular solid waste load, in addition to return trip charges applicable. If rec ycling is rejected at processer and needs to be hauled elsewhere, an additional fee applies for the partial second haul. The rate will be charged at 50% of a regular haul fee.
The direc tor of solid waste management reserves the right to deny service to any generator that does not meet a minimum standard of rec yclable quality as determined by the direc tor’s evaluation.
