All venue facilities such as, but not limited to, public, nonprofit, or privately owned and operated stadiums, amphitheaters, arenas, halls, amusement parks, conference or civic centers, zoos, aquariums, airports, racetracks, horse tracks, performing arts centers, fairgrounds, and museums, located within the city of Marysville that annually seats or serves an average of more than two thousand individuals per day of operation shall separate and arrange for recycling of all glass, cans, cardboard, polystyrene, paper products, and food. In addition, the venue facility shall prepare and adopt a waste prevention strategy to reduce the amount of waste material generated by facility operations. When a venue facility owner provides space for a tenant, event management subcontractor, or permitted use of the facility, that owner shall also be responsible for recycling and waste prevention performance of the facility user.
Any venue facility not participating in the recycling services offered by contract collectors may be subject to periodic waste audits. In addition, venue facilities not participating in recycling services offered by contract collectors, or those found not to be implementing their waste reduction strategy plans shall submit, at the request of the city services department, and at their own expense, annual reports which provide information on, but not limited to, the waste prevention policies being implemented, and the type, amount, and destination of all solid waste disposed and each recyclable material sold or donated. The city services department may exempt certain venue facility generators from some of the requirements of this section because they do not generate significant amounts of solid waste or recyclables at a particular event, or because of the localized market conditions for a particular recyclable material.
