§ 366.08. Recycling required.

The purpose of this section is to have recycling options that are proportional to trash collection services.

(1)

Any person or organization holding a community festival must provide for the collection and proper disposal of recyclable material separate from non-recyclable materials. Recyclable materials may include but are not limited to: metal, glass or plastic food and beverage containers, corrugated cardboard, boxboard, plastic film or other packaging, or miscellaneous paper.

(2)

Sixty (60) days prior to the event the event applicant must provide a written plan to the city for review and approval demonstrating how the event applicant will comply with the recycling requirements and waste reduction objectives outlined in this subdivision. At a minimum the waste management plan will detail: efforts to reduce waste by evaluating the potential waste stream (types of trash, recyclable and/or organic (food waste and compostable) materials) generated at the event, a plan for collection and proper disposal of all materials, how education and signage (posted for staff, volunteers and attendees) will be addressed as well as the name of trash/recycling/organics service provider(s).

(3)

Arrangements must be made for the delivery of all recyclable material to a valid recyclable materials processing facility, transfer station or drop off center promptly after completion of the festival. Where applicable, arrangements must be made for the delivery of all organic materials to an appropriate organic materials processing facility or transfer station.

(4)

Within thirty (30) business days following the community festival the permit holder must submit the following: a valid recyclable materials processing facility, transfer station, or recycling drop off center weight ticket; photographs; or other written evidence acceptable to the city, verifying that all recyclable materials were delivered to an appropriate disposal facility. Where applicable, within thirty (30) business days following the community festival, the permit holder must submit the following: a valid organic materials processing facility or transfer station weight ticket; photographs; or other written evidence acceptable to the city, verifying that all organic materials were delivered to an appropriate disposal facility. Failure to comply with any part of this section may result in forfeiture of the security posted or additional fees being charged.
