§ 5-6405. LIMITATIONS ON THE USE OF GARBAGE GRINDERS.

Waste from garbage grinders shall not be discharged into a sanitary sewer except:

(a)

Wastes generated in preparation of food normally consumed on the premises; or

(b)

Where the user has obtained a permit or that specific use from the County, and agrees to undertake whatever self-monitoring is required to enable the County to equitably determine the user charges based on the waste constituents and characteristics. Such grinders must shred the waste to a degree that all particles will be carried freely under normal flow conditions prevailing in the public sewer. Garbage grinders shall not be used for grinding plastic, paper products, inert materials, garden refuse, human, animal or fowl constituents and metals. Excessive or unnecessarily large quantities of water shall not be used to flush ground garbage into the sanitary sewer.
