§ 9.03. Transportation.

(1)

Transportation nuisance. No person shall transport any material in any vehicle unless the vehicle is operated and constructed so that the contents shall not blow, scatter, leak, or spill upon streets or alleys or otherwise create a nuisance.

(2)

Keeping of vehicles in public places. All vehicles or conveyers, whether publicly or privately owned, used for the collection or transportation of solid waste shall not be kept in any street, alley, or public place, or upon any private premises within the city longer than is reasonably necessary to collect the solid waste except by permission of the director of public works.

(3)

Private collector's license. No person, except employees of the department in the regular performance of duty, shall collect or transport waste materials on any street or alley without a license. Each license shall bear a number corresponding to the license plate issued which shall be prominently displayed on the vehicle used by such licensee in his business as herein provided. Such license shall be available only to the person in whose name it is issued and shall not be used by any person other than the original licensee. Any licensee who shall permit his license to be used by any other person, and any other person who shall use such license granted to another person shall be in violation of this subchapter. Such license shall be issued by the city clerk upon approval of the director of public works. The license fee for one year or fraction thereof shall be $25.00 for the first vehicle and $5.00 for each additional vehicle operated by such person.

This license does not provide authorization for the licensee to collect solid waste placed out by the property owner on public right-of-way for collection by the city.

Each license shall automatically expire on January 1 following issuance. Such license may be suspended or removed by the director of public works for failure to comply with any of the rules of the director of public works. Appeal from this decision may be made to the common council.
