Self Haul

A business or non-residential property, owner or generator, may haul or transport recyclable materials generated and collected at its business or non-residential property to a recycling facility (rather than hiring a Franchised Waste Hauler or Authorized Recycler) if the following conditions are met:
  • Recyclable materials are transported in a vehicle owned by either an employee or the business.
  • A Self-Hauling form is filled out that certifies that all self-hauling activities will be completed in accordance with the provisions of the Business Recycling Ordinance or any other applicable law or regulation. 
  • The Self-Hauling form is available for inspection upon request. 
  • The Self-Hauling form is signed by the business or non-residential property, owner or generator, certifying that the owner or generator is in compliance with the requirements of the Business Recycling Ordinance.
  • If a business’s self-hauling activity violates the provisions of the Business Recycling Ordinance or any other applicable law or regulation, the business’s self-hauling activity may be restricted or prohibited.
