Remember to tarp your load. It's the Law!
Your tax dollars are spent each year cleaning up litter from the
roadways. The vast majority of this litter is from vehicles transporting
waste to the landfill. The San Benito County Board of Supervisors approved a
rate schedule effective August 1, 1999, part of which was the
implementation of a $5.00 charge if your load is not tarped or covered so as
to
prevent litter. This charge is intended as an incentive to follow existing
state law as stated in the California Vehicle Code (Division 11, Section
23115(a), as follows:

complete Public Notice
No vehicle loaded with garbage, swill, cans, bottles,
waste papers, ashes, refuse, trash, or rubbish, or any other noisome,
nauseous, or offensive matter, or anything being transported to a dump site
for disposal shall be driven or moved upon any highway unless the load is
totally covered in a manner which will prevent the load or any part of the
load from spilling or falling from the vehicle.
Franchise Agreement for Solid Waste Transport
Anyone disposing of more than 1,000 pounds must have a Franchise
Agreement for Solid Waste Transport. By definition, 1,000 pounds or over
is considered commercial waste, even though the waste may be from a household.
Anyone disposing of over 1,000 pounds needs to contact the Integrated Waste
Management Department of the County to fill out the appropriate forms.
There is no cost and no other charge if the waste is generated in San Benito
County.
The County requires a copy of proof of insurance for your
vehicle along with the Franchise Agreement form.
You may print the agreement, fill it out, and mail it along with
a copy of your proof of insurance to:
