(a) All garbage shall be stored, pending collection by the town, in the roll-out carts provided by the town, and the top of such containers shall be kept securely fastened at all times. Such roll-out carts shall be kept between scheduled pickups either within a completely enclosed substantial structure such as a house, garage, or shed, or:
(1) If a lot has frontage on only one street, then such roll-out carts shall be located behind the building line of the side of the principal building on that lot that faces the street;
(2) If a roll-out cart is stored in front of the building line, it must be screened so that it cannot be seen from the street.
(b) Roll-out carts shall be placed adjacent to the street (on the street side of any drainage ditch or swale) for collection by 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled collection day or no earlier than dusk prior to the collection day. After collection, all roll-out carts shall be removed to a storage location that complies with subsection (a) of this section by 6:00 a.m. on the day following the collection day.
(c) Should roll-out carts remain at the curb and not comply with subsection (a) of this section, a roll-in fee, established by the annual budget ordinance, will be assessed on the second occurrence within a twelve-month period.
(d) If the director determines that, because of the physical infirmity of the occupant of any premises, the occupant cannot without severe hardship transport the roll-out cart from the storage location required by subsection (a) of this section to the collection point required by subsection (b) of this section, he may authorize a special exemption service.
(e) The cost of the roll-out cart is included in the regular sanitation fee. A monthly charge, in addition to the regular sanitation fee, for the use of a second cart shall be established by the annual budget ordinance.
(f) Damage to the town's roll-out cart outside of normal wear and tear can be assessed to the residence up to the full replacement cost of a new container.
