(a)
All private refuse and/or recycling collection fleets shall operate alternative-fuel collection vehicles within the city or install a California Air Resources Control Board (CARB) approved exhaust control device on all non-alternative fuel collection vehicles operating within the City of Commerce. A pre-owned heavy duty vehicle equipped with approved control devices means that the device has been verified or certified by CARB. To be considered fitted with an approved control device, all diesel exhaust from the vehicle must be vented through such a device that has been fitted at the time of vehicle purchase or fitted by a certified device installer at the time the device is delivered to the operator.
(b)
The city administrator or his/her designee shall arrange for semi-annual inspections of such vehicles, as to state of repair and operating condition. Between inspections, collectors shall allow in service only those trucks, trainers or other conveyances that are in proper repair and safe operating condition.
