Section 3. Section 16-33 of the City Code, City of Chanhassen, Minnesota, is hereby
amended to read as follows:
Operating requirements.
A licensed hauler must comply with the following requirements. Failure to observe these
provisions may be a basis for suspension or revocation of a license:
(1) Manner. The licensee shall operate in a manner consistent with its application
materials and shall provide notice to the city within ten (10) days of any change in
the information.
(2) Hours of collection. No collection of mixed municipal solid waste or recyclable
materials shall be made from a residential dwelling nor may a waste hauler
operate within a residential area except between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and
6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Operations during these hours may also be
conducted on Saturday, to accommodate recognized national holidays or a special
pickup. No collection of yard waste from a residential dwelling shall be made
except between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
• Customers shall be reasonably notified of the specific day and hours for collection
of their yard waste, mixed municipal solid waste, and/or recyclables and the
• licensee shall collect the materials within those time periods.
(3) Vehicles; maintenance. Each licensed hauler shall only use vehicles and
equipment so constructed that the contents will not leak or spill. The vehicles and
equipment shall also be kept clean and as free from offensive odors as possible,
and shall not stand in any street, alley, or public place longer than is reasonably
necessary to collect mixed municipal solid waste, yard waste, and/or recyclables.
The license shall also ensure that the collection site is left tidy and free of litter.
(4) Opportunity to recycle; collection. Each licensed hauler shall provide its
customers with an opportunity to recycle through the weekly or bi-weekly
curbside collection of targeted recyclables. Any hauler providing bi-weekly
recycling pickup must provide, at a minimum, a 35 gallon, enclosed container for
residential customers. The curbside collection of targeted recyclables shall be on
the same day as the collection of the customer's mixed municipal solid waste, but
may occur at a different time within that day. The targeted recyclables collection
shall be from a location at or near the customer's mixed municipal solid waste
collection site, or such other location mutually agreeable to the hauler and the
customer. The licensee may specify how a customer is to place and prepare their
targeted recyclables for collections. The licensee must provide this information to
their customers in writing on an annual basis. In addition, annually the hauler
shall provide their customers with their Material Recovery Facility's recycling
• rate. The city must also be provided a copy of this information on an annual
basis. The licensee is also deemed the owner of the recyclables and upon
collections, the licensee may market them. Nothing herein shall be construed to
prevent a licensee from offering curbside collection for other recyclable materials,
in addition to the targeted recyclables.
(5) Monthly report on mixed recyclables. Each licensee shall submit a monthly
report to the city of the weight, in tons, of mixed recyclables collected by the
licensee in Chanhassen. The report shall be provided on or before the twentieth
day of the month following the close of the previous month and shall be on a form
provided by the city. The report shall also identify the estimated weight of each
type of collected recyclable, distinguish residential collection tonnage from
commercial/industrial tonnage, the location of the recycling facilities or end
markets to which all materials are delivered, the recycling rate of the facility, and
describe how the weights were calculated. Upon written notice to the licensee,
the city may require similar reports on other materials picked up by the licensee.
(6) Charges for service. Licensed mixed municipal solid waste haulers may not
charge their customers a flat fee rate. To the extent possible, charges shall be
based upon the volume or weight of mixed municipal solid waste that is collected.
Licensed haulers may not impose greater charges on residents or businesses that
recycle than on those who do not recycle.
14
(7) Recyclables. Recyclables may not be disposed of at a landfill or incinerated. All
• recyclables must be recycled. Licensed haulers shall not mix source -separated
materials with mixed municipal solid waste or handle source -separated materials
in any way that reduces the reusability or marketability of the source -separated
material. Licensed haulers must notify the customer if recyclable materials are
contaminated or not sorted correctly. The notification must be in writing stating
the violation and corrective measures and it must be presented at the time of
collection.
(8) Designated sanitary landfill. Mixed municipal solid waste collected from sources
other than public entities may only be disposed of at a designated sanitary landfill
or other facility authorized by the county. All mixed municipal solid wastes
collected from any public entity within Chanhassen must be managed according
to the Carver County waste management hierarchy.
Section 4. This ordinance shall be effective immediately upon its passage and
publication.
