C. 

Any two or more commercial establishments which generate less than 33 gallons of garbage within seven consecutive days may jointly and collectively arrange for removal and disposal of garbage with a single private collector, so long as:

Any owner, lessee or person, firm or corporation in control of any business, industrial, manufacturing or other commercial activity may be granted a waiver from complying with Subsection A or C of this section by the Commissioner of Public Works. This waiver will be granted only upon a showing that the garbage or waste is being disposed of by the owner in a manner acceptable to the City and in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations and that this regulation would pose undue hardship. Once granted, this waiver may be rescinded by the Commissioner at any time if it is determined by the Department of Public Works that the owner is not disposing of the garbage or waste in accordance with this section or in a manner acceptable to the City.
