[CC 1997 §19-21]
No person shall engage in the business of collecting, transporting,
processing or disposing of solid waste within the corporate limits
of the City without first obtaining an annual permit therefor from
the City; provided however, that this provision shall not be deemed
to apply to employees of the holder of any such permit.
[CC 1997 §19-22]
No such permit shall be issued until and unless the applicant
therefor, in addition to all other requirements set forth, shall file
and maintain with the Director evidence of a satisfactory public liability
insurance policy, covering all operations of such applicant pertaining
to such business and all vehicles to be operated in the conduct thereof,
in the amount of not less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) for
each person injured or killed, and in the amount of not less than
twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00) in the event of injury or death
of two (2) or more persons in any single accident, and in the amount
of not less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) for damage to property.
Such policy may be written to allow the first fifty dollars ($50.00)
of liability for damage to property to be deductible. Should any such
policy be canceled, the Director shall be notified of such cancellation
by the insurance carrier in writing not less than ten (10) days prior
to the effective date of such cancellation, and provisions to that
effect shall be incorporated in such policy, which shall also place
upon the company writing such policy the duty to give such notice.
[CC 1997 §19-23]

[CC 1997 §19-24]
If the application shows that the applicant will collect/transport,
process or dispose of solid wastes without hazard to the public health
or damage to the environment and in conformity with the laws of the
State of Missouri and this Chapter, the Director shall issue the permit
authorized by this Chapter. The permit shall be issued for a period
of one (1) year, and each applicant shall pay therefor a fee of twenty-five
dollars ($25.00) for each transportation vehicle to be used. If, in
the opinion of the Director, modifications can be made to the application
regarding service, equipment, or mode of operation, so as to bring
the application within the intent of this Chapter, the Director shall
notify the applicant in writing setting forth the modification to
be made and the time in which it shall be done.
[CC 1997 §19-25]
If the applicant does not make the modification pursuant to the notice in Section 225.160 within the time limit specified therein, or if the application does not clearly show that the collection, transportation, processing or disposal of solid wastes will create no public health hazard or be without harmful effects on the environment, the application shall be denied and the applicant notified by the Director, in writing, stating the reason for such denial. Nothing in this Section shall prejudice the right of the applicant to reapply after the rejection of his/her application, provided that all aspects of the reapplication comply with the provisions of this Chapter.
[CC 1997 §19-26]
The annual permit may be renewed simply upon payment of the fee or fees as designated herein if the business has not been modified. If modifications have been made, the applicant shall reapply for a permit as set forth in Sections 225.140 and 225.150. No permits authorized by this Chapter shall be transferable from person to person.
[CC 1997 §19-27]
In order to insure compliance with the laws of this State, this
Chapter and the rules and regulations authorized herein, the Director
is authorized to inspect all phases of solid waste management within
the City of Branson West. No inspection shall be made in any residential
unit unless authorized by the occupant or by due process of law. In
all instances where such inspections reveal violation of this Chapter,
the rules and regulations authorized herein for the storage, collection,
transportation, processing or disposal of solid waste or the laws
of the State of Missouri, the Director shall issue notice for each
violation stating therein the violation or violations found, the time
and date and the corrective measure to be taken, together with the
time in which such corrections shall be made.
[CC 1997 §19-28]
In all cases, when the corrective measures have not been taken
within the time specified, the Director shall suspend or revoke the
permit or permits involved in the violation, however, in those cases
where an extension of time will permit correction and there is no
public health hazard created by the delay, one (1) extension of time
not to exceed the original time period may be given.
[CC 1997 §19-29]
Any person who feels aggrieved by any notice of violation or
order issued pursuant thereto of the Director may, within ten (10)
days of the act for which redress is sought, appeal directly to the
Circuit Court of Stone County, Missouri, in writing, setting forth
a concise statement the act being appealed and the grounds for reversal.
[CC 1997 §19-30]

legible and not less than six (6) inches high.
