Sec. 19-23. Use of county disposal facilities—Rules and regulations.

All persons using any county disposal facility shall be subject to the following requirements, the violation of which shall result in punishment in accordance with section 19-4 of this chapter.

(a) All materials disposed of at county disposal facilities will be inspected and after acceptance shall thereupon become the property of the county and shall be subject to salvage by the county for its own use and benefit. No person shall engage in scavenging at a county disposal facility without a written salvage permit from the county administrator. Such permit shall be subject to conditions designed to improve and promote county disposal facilities and shall not be granted if the activities of the scavenger would interfere with county operations. It is the intent of this provision that a permit not be granted simply to further the business interests of scavengers but that, in addition, the county must derive a substantial benefit therefrom.

(b) No person shall enter upon, deposit or dump any waste or solid waste at any county disposal facility at any time when such facility is closed.

(c) All persons using a county disposal facility shall obey the orders and directives of the county employee or contractor in charge thereof.

(d) The county administrator may issue permits to use county disposal facilities to persons engaged in the service of collecting or disposing of solid waste whether such waste was generated within or without the county, as provided in article III of this chapter. Permits are not necessary for other persons to use county disposal facilities.

(e) Whenever solid waste brought by any person to a county disposal facility for disposal is such that, in the opinion of the county administrator or his designee, it requires special handling, he may refuse to accept the same or may agree to accept such solid waste upon payment of a service charge based upon the cost of handling and disposing of such waste as set forth in section 19-24.

(f) All persons desiring to deposit solid waste at any county disposal facility shall pay such fee, if any, for such disposal as shall be set out from time to time by resolution or ordinance of the board of supervisors.

(g) The County Administrator shall be authorized to waive the tipping fee for disposal at the county transfer station for special community activities that support the express goals of the County.

(h) The county administrator shall be authorized to develop reasonable rules and regulations for the use and operation of county owned disposal facilities not in conflict with the provisions of this chapter. Upon approval by resolution of the board of supervisors of such rules and regulations, the violation of any such rule or regulation shall be deemed a violation of the provisions of this chapter.
