(3) If the material is transported to an entity 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 materials received, the self hauler is not required to record the weight of material but shall keep a record of the entities that received the compost material.

(D) Self-haulers that are commercial businesses (including multifamily self haulers) shall provide information collected in subsection C of this section to the city, if requested.
