If the owner delivers any grain and seed to a grain and seed cleaner for cleaning, and desires to have the cleanings from the grain and seed kept for him, he shall make written request to the grain and seed cleaner to segregate and hold all cleanings which result from the cleaning of the grain and seed.
(Enacted by Stats. 1967, Ch. 15.)
If a request is made by the owner, the cleaner shall sack or otherwise segregate the cleanings and give written notice to the owner when the cleaning is completed.

If the cleanings are not removed from the cleaning plant within five days after the mailing of the written notification to the owner, as provided in Section 55253, or five days from the date of receiving authorization to move the cleanings if such authorization is required by Section 7571, the grain and seed cleaner may dispose of the cleanings in such manner as is provided by law.
