Transportation of Solid Waste to Solid Waste Disposal Sites (Cover Your Load)

Solid waste conveyed to any solid waste disposal site within the city, whether a landfill, transfer station, bailing station, or recycling facility, must be securely covered.  Securely covered is defined as a load that is securely covered and fastened to the transport vehicle in such a manner that the waste shall not, and cannot, be strewn upon the streets, roads and highways within the City of Chula Vista.  Unsecured loads, including bagged waste, must be secured to the transport vehicle with a separate lid, tarp, or other means ensuring materials cannot blow or travel out of the car, truck, trailer, or any other means of transport.

 

Record-keeping Requirements for Commercial Self-Hauling

Self-haulers must keep a record of the amount of solid waste, recyclables, and organic waste delivered to each solid waste facility. Self-haulers are subject to inspection by the City of Chula Vista and/or the State of California. Records that may be requested as part of an inspection include:

• Delivery receipts and weight tickets from the facility accepting the waste.

• The amount of material in cubic yards or tons delivered to each permitted facility.

 CalRecycle developed the Recordkeeping Tool for Self-Haulers to assist self-haulers in meeting the recordkeeping requirements.
