The City implemented a Non-Exclusive Commercial Solid Waste Collection Franchise System (non-exclusive franchise) on January 1, 2015. A non-exclusive franchise is a system in which a jurisdiction allows solid waste collection services to be provided by private waste haulers but requires haulers to enter into a non-exclusive commercial franchise agreement (Agreement) with the jurisdiction, in this case the City. Under this non-exclusive franchise system, customers have a choice of more than one waste hauler because the system is open to competition to all haulers that enter into an Agreement. The waste haulers deal directly with the public and businesses in competing for customers.
