It shall be the duty of the members of the Police Department to enforce the provisions of this chapter, but nothing herein contained shall be construed to exempt any other officer or employee of the City or any Health Board having jurisdiction in the City from the obligations of enforcing such provisions.
(Ord. 157-1967. Passed 6-19-67.)
Any person, firm or corporation within the City which uses the waste collection facilities and services of the City does by the fact of that use and continued use give permission to the employees of the Service Department engaged in waste collection to enter upon private property for the purpose of waste collection and does, in consideration of the services, release the City and its individual employees engaged in waste collection from all claims of every nature for damage or trespass, excluding only malicious damage by individual employees.
(Ord. 157-1967. Passed 6-19-67.)
(a) For purposes of solid waste collection, properties situated in the City are hereby classified with respect to the type of structure and use permitted and established thereon as follows:
(1) Residential properties;
(2) Commercial properties; and
(3) Industrial properties.
(b) Only the solid waste collection service set forth and established in Section 941.05(a) for publicly dedicated streets shall be provided and such service shall be provided to all residential properties used exclusively for residential purposes at the request of the owner or managing agent thereof in accordance with any rules promulgated by the Service Director to efficiently provide such service.
(c) The Director of Service may also extend the same service as defined by Section 941.05(a) to the private streets and drives of residential properties used exclusively for residential purposes at the request of the owner or managing agent thereof in accordance with any rules promulgated by the Service Director to efficiently provide such service in cases where the Service Director determines that the streets and drives to be serviced are substantially equivalent to the publicly dedicated streets serviced with respect to structure, turnaround, clearance of wires, lights and other fixtures and the proximity of off-street placement of containers pursuant to agreements to be made by the Service Director on behalf of the City which shall:
(1) Include any rules and regulations regarding the provision of the service as determined by him to be necessary;
(2) Specify the service to be provided which is determined as equivalent to the Section 941.05(a) service by the Service Director;
(3) Include a release of claims provision including terms set forth in Section 941.25; and
(4) Be in such form as approved by the Director of Law.
(d) The City shall collect garbage at every residential property, as identified by its permanent parcel number, which complies with Sections 941.04 and 941.05 of these Codified Ordinances. Any residential property, as identified by its permanent parcel number, which cannot comply with Sections 941.04 and 941.05 because of the volume of trash generated and the impracticality of placing trash at the curbside shall be reimbursed, at the property owner's request, the actual cost of garbage collection or whatever amount the City pays per permanent parcel number, whichever is less. At its option, the City may pay the contractor directly in lieu of reimbursement.
(Ord. 155-1991. Passed 5-6-91.)
No person owning or driving a vehicle hauling solid waste shall cause the collection, transportation or transfer of such waste other than between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. No collection, transportation or transfer shall occur on Saturdays after 4:00 p.m. or at any time on Sundays. Application for exceptions to this provision may be made to the Director of Public Service, on a form provided by the Director. Such exceptions shall be granted only where the applicant is able to demonstrate circumstances of great practical difficulty in the collection and transportation of solid waste in areas where there is heavy daytime vehicular and pedestrian traffic and a concentration of commercial activity.
