RE: Amendment to Chapter 143 : Recycling
DATE: September 4, 1996
We have investigated numerous complaints from Western Waste that other refuse haulers
were providing roll-off and garbage containers to Commercial customers within the City
Limits under the guise of recycling containers. We found that these containers were in fact -
being used for other than recyclable materials. We subsequently notified each hauler that
their containers were to be removed because they were in violation of the City Code which
provides an exclusive commercial collection franchise agreement with Western Waste.
The attached Amendment to the City Code is intended to make all commercial recycling
vendors to clearly mark their containers for recyclable materials only. -

RE: Amendment to Chanter 143 : Recycling
Pursuant to our discussions, please find enclosed a
proposed amendment to Chapter 143 of the Ocoee City Code which
establishes a new section regarding labeling of commercial
containers intended as a depository for recyclable materials. This
is based upon the draft dated July 18 , 1996. Please note that I
have provided that the ordinance would become effective 30 days
after adoption in order to give time for recovered materials
dealers to label their commercial containers. If you require any
revisions to the draft, please. let me know. Otherwise, it should
be forwarded to the City Commission for consideration.
This memorandum and the proposed ordinance is being E-
Mailed to you so that the City Clerk has an original of the
proposed ordinance.
