Organic waste processing definition
Organic waste processing means the accumulation and storage of Organic waste in a manner that leads to the intentional or unintentional thermophilic decomposition of Organic waste. The acceptance of payment for organic waste and the accumulation of more than 15 yards or three tons per year of unprocessed, shredded, ground or composted material shall constitute organic waste processing and is subject to the City, County and State requirements regulating compost and/or solid waste facilities. Residential, commercial and agricultural sites that generate, stockpile or process organic waste material generated on-site and used on-site without sale of finished or unfinished material, that are otherwise compliant with all conditions of the Municipal Code for nuisance, may apply for an annual exemption.
