Transporting Loads

When transporting loads of materials including but not limited to refuse or debris, all materials must be secured adequately.

(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to haul, convey or cause to be conveyed any refuse upon or along the public streets and roadways except when the material transported is adequately secured in such a manner as to prevent it from falling, leaking or being blown from transporting vehicles. The owner or driver of the offending vehicle shall be personally responsible for any violation of this section.

(b) It shall be a violation of this article for any person not authorized by the county to collect and haul any refuse other than that arising from his own accumulation within any area of the county in which refuse collection service is maintained by the county.
