Self-Hauling

Requirements for Self-Hauling

Self-haulers, including landscapers, must separate recyclables and organic waste on-site and haul the separated materials to a solid waste facility operation, activity, or property that processes or recovers separated organic waste and recyclables. The regulations are very specific on what kinds of facilities qualify to accept this material. To view all self-hauling requirements, please see Tustin Mun. Code § 4-3.66 (Self-Hauler Requirements) .

Recordkeeping

Self-haulers must keep a record of the amount of organic waste and recyclables delivered to each solid waste facility, operation, activity, or property that processes or recovers organic waste and recyclables. This record shall be subject to inspection by the City and include:

  • Delivery receipts and weight tickets from the facility accepting the waste.
  • The amount of material in cubic yards or tons transported to each facility.

If the material is transported to a facility that does not have scales on-site or employs scales incapable of weighing the self-hauler's vehicle in a manner that allows it to determine the weight of waste received, the self-hauler is not required to record the weight of material but shall keep a record of the facilities that received the organic waste.
