Every collector operating a residential collection route shall provide not less than one (1) regular weekly collection to all customers. Commercial/Industrial service shall be provided on an as needed basis to be agreed upon with the customer.
Full Breakdown
San Diego County uses a non-exclusive franchise system: several private haulers may compete for customers in the unincorporated area. SEC. 68.562(b) requires that every collector operating a residential route provide not less than one regular weekly collection to all customers, with commercial/industrial service as needed. SEC. 68.562(f) requires collectors to provide collection of designated recyclables in the unincorporated areas. Residents pick a franchise hauler (or, with County registration, self-haul). Actual pickup day depends on the hauler serving Bostonia.
Violations & Fines
Collectors operate under Solid Waste Management Agreements that the Director, Department of Public Works may suspend or revoke for violations; the collector must cease operations within ten days of notice unless reinstated or a hearing is requested.
