No person shall engage in the business of recycling of solid waste materials in the
county for resale for a profit without having first applied to the board of county
commissioners for a recycling permit and without having been issued such a permit.
Such a permit shall be issued by the county only upon an affirmative finding that
the proposed recycling operations shall not impair the financial obligations of the
county previously incurred with respect to the operation of the solid waste disposal
and resource recovery program and the proposed recycling otherwise complies with all
federal, state and county requirements. The permit so issued will authorize the applicant
to engage in the recycling of identified components of the solid waste stream prior
to disposal in the solid waste disposal and resource recovery system. If the board
of county commissioners determines that the permit shall not be issued, it shall advise
the applicant of any requirements necessary to secure the permit, including the exclusion
of certain components from the solid waste to be recycled.
(b)
The application for a recycling permit shall identify the solid waste constituents
or components sought to be recycled, the method of collection proposed by the permit
applicant, the ultimate reuse of such recycled or reclaimed materials, the equipment
required for such recycling operations and the anticipated market for such recycled
goods.
