(a) Care of all containers. All containers shall be returned upright to the curb where found. Containers or lids shall not be deposited in the street or on adjoining property. Collectors shall not in any way throw or roughly handle any container so as to cause damage. The approved collection agent shall return all bins, roll-off boxes and the like utilized for business establishments hereunder, to the enclosure(s) provided therefor on the property. In the event that a business establishment fails to utilize such enclosures, or if the enclosures are rendered unusable, the approved collection agent shall request the business establishment to make the enclosure usable for bins, roll-off boxes and the like. If the business establishment fails or refuses to correct the situation, the approved collection agent shall notify the City thereof. The contractor immediately shall remove any and all material that is spilled.
(b) Replacement of faulty containers. Where the property owner or occupant provides the container, any container that leaks and is not watertight shall be replaced by the owner within ten (10) days after notice from the collector, stating the condition of that container. Notice from the collector shall be made by attaching a tag to the container indicating its defective condition.
(c) Operator responsibility. Where the approved collection agent furnishes containers (whether for solid waste or recyclables), he is responsible for maintaining the containers in good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, unless they are furnished under other terms, conditions or agreements.
(d) Use of container. No person shall tamper with, modify, remove from or deposit recyclables, solid wastes or organic waste in any container that has not been provided for his use without the permission of the container owner.
