Each and every owner, manager, agent, tenant, housekeeper, or other person in control of or occupying any room, dwelling house, apartment, or other building or portion thereof, including business establishments, and producing or responsible for the disposal of refuse which is to be collected by the City, shall be provided one (1) 95- or 45-gallon roll-out cart of their choice. Upon request, one (1) additional 95- or 45-gallon cart per residence will be available for an ongoing monthly fee equal to fifty percent (50%) of the then in effect monthly refuse collection fee. Customer requests for changing cart sizes, after the initial selection of a cart size and delivery of selected cart, will incur a thirty dollar ($30.00) cart switching fee. The City will replace and/or repair carts that have been damaged due to normal wear and tear. Replacement carts or carts damaged due to negligence or otherwise lost or stolen will be replaced for a one-time cart replacement fee of seventy five dollars ($75.00) as determined by the MES Manager or his designee. If using a private hauler the customer or hauler shall provide a sufficient number of appropriate containers to hold the refuse accumulating therein. The City or an authorized special collector will make available recycling bins. One (1) bin will be available at no cost for each dwelling at which occupants produce residential refuse, but only if the City or special collector is able to provide curbside recyclable material collection for that dwelling. In the event that the recycling bin is lost, damaged, stolen, or additional recycling bins are desired, the City or special collector may charge for the replacement bins. Recycling bins and carts issued to a property shall remain with the property when occupancy of the property changes. All recycling bins and roll out carts remain the property of the City or the special collector and shall be returned at the request of the City or special collector. (Ord. 2017-24)
