A. It is the duty of every person or commercial or residential solid waste generator to place or cause to be placed all solid waste accumulating on the premises in suitable receptacles or containers provided by the city, or an authorized solid waste collector. All materials prepared for collection shall be stored in a city approved container until removed by the city or an authorized solid waste collector, unless those materials are properly prepared for the city's bulk waste collection service.
B. Containers for solid waste collection shall not be placed within five feet (5') of a vehicle, mailbox or other obstruction to safe collection as determined by the city manager, or the manager's designee. At no time may containers be left on a sidewalk.
C. To ensure containers are placed out on time, containers may be placed in the street in front of the house to which they are assigned after six o'clock (6:00) P.M. on the day preceding collection, with the wheels adjacent to the curb of the street, and the lid opening toward the street. Where there is no curb, the container shall be placed at the edge of the street, within two feet (2') of the pavement or improved road, as applicable. Containers for street collection shall be placed out on the street for service no later than six o'clock (6:00) A.M. on the day of collection. Containers shall be removed prior to eleven o'clock (11:00) P.M. of the day of collection. It shall be a violation of this section to place or permit containers to remain on the street right of way except upon regular collection days. Containers shall be stored, between collection days, on the user's property so as not to interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic. (Ord. 15-848, 11-23-2015)
