§ 10. Franchisee responsibilities.

A.

The franchisee shall:

1.

Provide service levels and frequency for solid waste, recycling and yard debris collection in accordance with the Exhibit "A" attached to this Ordinance, which is made a part hereof, as though fully set forth herein, and which may be amended from time to time by the City Council.

2.

Dispose of solid wastes not reused, recycled, composted or resource recovered at a site approved by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality or other governmental agency having jurisdiction under Oregon Law to designate or operate solid waste disposal sites.

3.

Provide the level of recycling and reuse service required by this ordinance and Chapter 459A of the Oregon Revised Statutes and regulations promulgated thereunder.

4.

Provide sufficient collection vehicles, containers, facilities, personnel and finances to provide all types of necessary service or subcontract with others to provide such service pursuant to this Ordinance.

5.

Contract with disposal facilities for the right to dispose of collected wastes that are not reused, recycled, composted or otherwise resource recovered under and during the term and renewals of the franchise and further for self-hauling by citizens of the city for so long as that is permitted by the city or by regulatory agencies.

6.

Provide reports and records required by Section 33.

B.

The franchisee shall not give any rate preference to any person, locality or type of solid waste stored, collected, transported, transferred, disposed of or resource recovered. This paragraph shall not prohibit uniform classes of rates based upon length of haul, type or quality of solid waste handled and location of customers so long as such rates are reasonably based upon costs of the particular service and are approved by the City Council in the same manner as other rates, nor shall it prevent any person from volunteering service at reduced cost for a charitable, community, civic or benevolent purpose, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of this Ordinance.
