Up to four (4) containers per residential unit will be replaced. If more replacements are needed, a charge may be levied by the City's recycling contractor and will be added to the next utility bill for that residential unit.
(d) Additional Containers Delivered. The recycling contractor will deliver any additional containers requested to the residential unit during the next scheduled collection date after the City's Recycling Contractor is notified.
