All wet waste businesses or wet waste business structures which are subject to City approval for improvements, changes or modifications shall include a covered area to accommodate solid waste, non-organic recycling, organics bins and grease tallow bins to prevent loose materials or effluent from scattering on the property and to prevent storm water run on to the area and runoff from the area. Solid waste, non-organic recycling and organic enclosure storage areas shall be designed in accordance with the City's Public Works Guidelines for "Non-Residential Building Trash & Recycling Enclosures or Guidelines for Multi-Family Dwelling (5 or more units) Trash and Recycling Enclosures". New enclosure storage facilities, plans to share enclosure storage facilities or remodel existing enclosure storage facilities shall be subject to the review and approval of the Director.
Any person owning, controlling or maintaining any premises within the City which is required to have and maintain recycling area enclosures as specified in this Chapter as a condition of development, modification or use shall keep all garbage, organic waste, recycling, and other waste containers within the confines of the enclosures at all times except when the containers are being emptied by the solid waste collector. At businesses or business structures, the quantity of containers shall be sufficient to adequately allow the property owner or tenant to separate solid waste, non-organic recyclables and organic waste. The property owner or tenant is to request increased collection frequency from the solid waste collector if current container size and quantity exceed available area within the enclosure. Commercial entities shall use tallow bins for grease waste. Secondary containment for tallow bins and other waste or organic material containers shall be required by the City if the potential exists for any non-stormwater discharge to the storm drain system or any other waterway that connects to the waters of the State. Failure to properly store discarded materials is subject to citation.
