§ 106-196. Modified recycling programs.

(a)

Recycling programs which incorporate modifications, substitutions or reductions to the requirements of this article may be submitted to the director for approval. Approval, rejection or approval with conditions of the proposed modified recycling program shall be determined by the director. The director shall consider the following factors in evaluating the proposed modified recycling program:

(1)

Whether the establishment operates a recycling program, and is self-hauling the materials to a recyclable material vendor as evidenced and proved by receipts from the vendor.

(2)

Whether the establishment generates a lesser number of the required categories of recyclable materials than the minimum required for the establishment.

(3)

Whether the establishment has generated a lesser number of recyclables and can verify implementation of waste reduction policies and procedures.

(4)

Whether the establishment generates recyclable materials not listed and recycles those materials.

(b)

Any person seeking approval of a modified recycling program shall submit an application in such form prescribed by the director. All modified recycling programs shall be reviewed on a semiannual basis, and the applicant shall be required to confirm and revise the information contained in its application at that time. An application for approval of a modified recycling program shall include but not be limited to the following documentation as appropriate to the specific application:

(1)

Supporting documentation to evidence self-haul activities, which shall include proof of source-separation activities and copies of receipts from recyclable material purchasers.

(2)

A waste composition study of the waste generated by the applicant, which shall cover a representative time period of no shorter than two weeks and shall reflect the applicant's annual waste stream.
