A. The residences of the City are divided into fair and reasonable types according to their structure and uses for the purpose of garbage and trash accumulation and removal. All collections will be made either from the alley, where alley exists, or from a place easily accessible to the street from which the collections are made. No collections shall be made from inside structures or other enclosures.
B. The annual residential refuse collection fees shall be as established by resolution of the City Council, and may be changed or amended by subsequent resolution of the Council from time to time as the Council deems necessary. A copy of the residential fee schedule shall be on file in the Office of the City Finance Officer/City Clerk and shall be open to inspection by any person. (Ord. 97-2, 7-15-1997)
C. Every owner of every residential lot in the City of Hardin shall pay the minimum rate for solid waste collection of a single 100-gallon garbage container serviced two (2) times per week, per lot. This minimum requirement applies to all residential lots with a structure, but does not apply to empty lots. There shall be no pro-rata charge if the structure is unoccupied, unused, or seasonally unoccupied. This minimum charge does not obligate the City to provide each lot with a single 100-gallon container if the City provides other larger containers in the vicinity of the lot, and does not obligate the City to provide solid waste collection at least twice a week if the collection frequency is different, but equivalent considering the size of container provided. Any residential lots or subdivisions annexed into the City with written agreements regarding solid waste collection frequency different from this section will be honored. (Ord. 2018-01, 2-20-2018)
