REQUEST TO INCREASE NUMBER OF WASTE HAULER LICENSES FROM 7 TO 8 In accordance with current City code, the City has issued seven waste hauler licenses for haulers to operate businesses in the City. BFI, a nationally recognized waste hauler, submitted a letter of request to acquire an additional waste hauler license to do business in the Victor Gardens subdivision.
