(a) Each residential unit shall be provided with a solid waste collection container and a recyclable materials collection container by the collection contractor. Residents may provide their own clearly labeled reusable yard waste collection containers, or use biodegradable yard waste bags for yard waste collection, which shall not exceed 50 pounds. Brush and tree limbs may also be tied in four-foot bundles that do not exceed 50 pounds in weight.
(b) All such containers shall be taken to a single curbside location no earlier than 5:00 p.m. the day before collection, unless because of sanitary, safety or other factors, the Public Works Director by rule or regulation designates that such containers shall be placed at the rear, or elsewhere at a particular residential unit. After collection of solid waste, recyclable materials and yard waste, a resident shall, within 24 hours, return such containers to the garage, rear or other inconspicuous location at the residential unit for storage.
(c) All solid waste and recyclable materials must be completely contained in the collection contractor-provided collection containers (unless a resident has subscribed to unlimited solid waste collection services), except that no less than once per month, bulky items, including but not limited to stoves, water tanks, washing machines, furniture, mattresses, televisions, and non-chlorofluorocarbon gas (CFC or Freon) containing appliances may be placed at the curb for collection. CFC-containing appliances placed for collection must include proper certification of CFC removal attached by a resident.
(d) The above provisions do not apply to the placement of leaves or branches within the public right-of-way for scheduled Municipal collection.
