§ 94.05 CONTAINERS STORAGE LOCATION; CONTAINER CARRY SERVICE.
   (A)   (1)   On non-collection days all refuse containers, including dumpsters, whether city or privately owned, shall be stored within an enclosed area or in the side or rear yard as defined by the city zoning code of the premises adjacent to the structure with the lid closed.
      (2)   The city may allow temporary placement of a dumpster or container such as for building projects/renovations to the structure, in the front yards or on city streets.
   (B)   The city may offer eligible households carry out/carry back service of the containers when no household member can transport the containers to the curb. In deciding whether or not to provide the carry out/carry back service, the city will attempt to reasonably accommodate the disability or disabilities of the person(s) involved without placing an undue hardship on the city and/or its employees given the totality of the circumstances involved. Each such request will be considered individually.
      (1)   Service is for households with a valid doctor prescribed handicap placard and/or a doctor issued letter requesting the temporary service.
         (a)   The city shall be provided a copy of the valid handicap placard annually.
         (b)   The city will not provide this service without proper documentation.
      (2)   City employees will not enter garages or fenced in areas to collect containers. Containers shall be readily accessible.
         (a)   For the purposes of carry out/carry back collections, city employees will not enter buildings. Those who utilize the carry out/carry back service are to locate their containers on a paved surface as near as practical to the entrance of the domicile closest to the street or in a location agreed upon by the city and resident.
         (b)   City collection vehicles will not traverse onto private property for refuse collection.
      (3)   During winter months, access to the containers shall be kept clear of ice and snow. The city reserves the right to not retrieve containers if access is not clear of ice and snow.
