(A) Public Streets. Collection of garbage and rubbish shall be made at ground level within five feet adjoining the designated improved and passable alley when available or at an easily accessible designated spot within five feet of the front curb of a public street, or as otherwise designated by the Street Commissioner.
(B) Private Streets. Private streets shall not be utilized by city collection crews to collect garbage and rubbish from single family residences or eligible apartment buildings abutting the private streets in the absence of a written agreement between the owner of the private street license to the city to utilize the private street for the purpose of effecting garbage and rubbish collection from the single family residences and eligible apartment buildings abutting the private streets. Such an agreement shall be on terms and conditions acceptable to the Board. It shall be the obligation of the owner of the private street to obtain such a written agreement with the city. Before any such agreement is entered into, the City Board of Public Works and Safety may require a report from the Street Commissioner, which report shall set out the feasibility of utilizing the private street for the collection of garbage and rubbish. The city shall not be required to enter into an agreement for the utilization of private streets for collection purposes if, in the opinion of the Street Commissioner, the street cannot safely be used by city collection equipment because of width, weight limitations, turning radii, or other factors. In the absence of such an agreement, the Street Commissioner may designate a collection point abutting a public street or alley to be utilized by those residents whose domiciles abut the private street; are otherwise eligible for garbage and rubbish collection; and who request collection service. In any such agreement, it shall be the owner's responsibility to maintain the private street in a condition where the street can safely be utilized by city trash collection equipment for collection purposes. The maintenance shall include, but not be limited to, snow and ice removal; parking regulations designed to allow free passage of collection equipment. If, in the opinion of the Street Commissioner, a private street cannot safely be utilized for collection purposes, due to a correctable problem, the Street Commissioner may suspend use of the street for collection purposes until the owner has corrected the problem. Where the owner disputes the opinion of the Street Commissioner, the matter shall be referred to the City Board of Public Works and Safety for a hearing. The decision of the Board upon the matter shall be final.
