Editor's Note: The definition of "solid waste," which immediately
preceded this definition, was repealed 6-18-2019 by Order No. 19-274-01.
No person, owner, driver, or private waste hauler of any truck
or trailer, of any size whatsoever, shall transport any solid waste
or recycling goods, including rubbish, refuse, ashes, garbage or putrescible
waste or other waste material, over any public way, street, or place
within the limits of the City except in properly constructed and maintained
vehicles or containers.
A.
No such vehicle or container shall be allowed to become foul or offensive.
B.
Such vehicles and containers shall be covered so as to prevent said
recycling goods, rubbish, refuse, ashes, garbage or other waste material
from being blown or falling into the street while in transit to an
approved disposal facility.
C.
No such vehicle or container shall be parked on private property
without a license and as allowed by an approved site plan.
D.
No such vehicle or container shall park on a City street or in City
parking lots.
No person, firm, or corporation shall operate as a waste hauler
and collect or transport solid waste from another person, firm, or
corporation for a fee within the corporate limits of the City without
first obtaining a license for such purpose from the City Clerk. Licenses
under this article shall not be issued unless the City Clerk receives
affirmation from the Inspection Team that the applicant's proposed
operation meets all applicable requirements. Any person carrying out
such activity without a license is in violation of these provisions.
Failure to comply with any of these requirements shall be deemed a
violation of this article and is adequate grounds for the denial,
revocation, or suspension of a waste hauler license.
License applications under this article shall be processed according to the procedures established in this article and Chapter 149, Licensing. A license may be issued to a waste hauler after the annual fee required has been paid through the City Clerk's office. The fee for a waste hauler license shall be established under Chapter 149, Licensing, § 149-1.4, Fees, of this Code, for waste haulers.
A license application shall be made to the City Clerk on a form furnished by the City Clerk for such purpose and shall include, in addition to any other required information established under Chapter 149, Licensing, the following information:

If the applicant is a corporation, the names and addresses of its
directors and officers;

and comprehensive liability coverage with limits of no less than $400,000;
and

A copy of a current waste transporter license with the Maine Department
of Environmental Protection.
