Upon determination of eligibility by the director, a nonprofit wa ste reduction corporation may receive a discount of thirty-five percent from the rates generally in effect for City disposal facility service, plus applicable state taxes.
The discount is only allowed where, in the regular course of disposal facility business, the eligible load is separately weighed and billed.
The discount shall not apply where the nonprofit wa ste reduction corporation’s wa ste is mixed or included with other wa ste or not normally separated and weighed.
