Section 1. TMC Section 22.04.030 is hereby amended to read as follows:
22.04.030. Commercial Garbage and Recvcling Collection Monitoring. Although the
City is not now exerting service level control over non residential garbage and recycling
collection, certain information will be required of both franchised and non franchised haulers
by the City to assist in its waste reduction and recycling development and monitoring activities.
This information will include, but is not limited to, a monthly accounting of all commercial
garbage and recycling accounts within the limits of the City. This accounting shall include the
number of subscribers for each container size, and the total volume of commercial waste
collected for each month within the quarter. Haulers who are not franchised shall provide this
information as part of their business license requirements. The City Clerk is authorized to
require this information on the business license application and renewal forms provided to such
haulers.
Section 2. TMC Section 22.04.040(c)(5) is hereby added to read as follows:
22.04.040(c)(5). Whenever certificated haulers file tariffs with the Washington Utilities
and Transportation Commission, an incentive solid waste collection rate structure shall be used.
An incentive solid waste collection rate structure is one that rewards customers who recycle and
includes substantial cost differentials between solid waste collection service levels. The tariffs
filed shall include the following percentages of increases between levels of service: a minimum
of sixty percent between mini and one can; a minimum of forty percent between one and two
cans or equivalent; and a minimum of twenty -five percent between two and three cans or
equivalent. These percentages should apply to the combined charge to the customer for both
solid waste and recyclable materials collection. The WUTC is strongly encouraged to approve
tariffs that are consistent with the policies set forth in this chapter, and that meet the minimum
percentages specified in this section.
Section 3. TMC Section 22.04.060(h) is hereby added to read as follows:
22.04.060(h). If the City determines that sign up and diversion rates are too low, haulers
shall be directed to deliver containers to all garbage customers, including those who have not yet
subscribed to recycling.
Section 4. TMC Section 22.04.090. A new Section 22.04.090 is hereby added to read as
follows:
22.04.090. Non Exclusive Franchises Established. Haulers operating under the authority
of RCW 81.77 and other applicable statutes shall sign a franchise agreement and pay a franchise
fee as provided by ordinance.
Section 5. Severabilitv. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance
should be held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity of constitutionality of any other
section, sentence, clause or phase of this ordinance.
Section 6. Effective Date. This ordinance or a summary thereof shall be published in the
official newspaper of the City, and shall take effect and be in full force five (5) days after
