Can I hire someone to haul my waste monthly?
<p>Can I hire an independent contractor to haul my waste in my city of Colusa, California. Someone said there is an exclusive contract that prevents the hauling of ones own waste to a landfill.</p>

<p><a href="https://library.municode.com/ca/colusa/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=CH14REGA" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Sec. 14-3</a> of the city ordinances says that</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>No person may engage in the business of collecting recyclable
  materials, solid waste or green waste within the city, or haul
  recyclable materials, solid waste or green waste through a street or
  public right-of-way in the city, unless that person has been granted a
  franchise or license to do so by the city. However, a property owner
  may occasionally transport recyclable materials, solid waste or green
  waste produced on his or her own premises to a licensed disposal area,
  subject to the requirements of Section 14-7 pertaining to solid waste
  transportation</p>
</blockquote>

<p>So that means you can't contract with someone else to haul your trash. You can do it yourself if you can follow the various regulations pertaining to transportation of waste.</p>
