(a) It is the intention of this chapter that each family or person occupying a separate residential unit, or each business or firm, shall make a separate provision for the collection and removal of acceptable waste. There shall be no doubling up. Any multiple family residence and/or three (3) separate businesses shall, if deemed necessary, be required to have a dumpster.
(b) No acceptable waste shall be placed or allowed to be placed for removal except in the acceptable waste containers provided and assigned by the Sanitation Department for that purpose. Acceptable waste containers shall not be placed for pick-up until the night before or the day of pick-up service and no later than 7:30 a.m. on day of pick-up. All trash must be placed inside the trash cart, with the lid completely closed. Additional trash cannot be stacked on top of the trash cart. Failure to abide by these regulations will result in additional fees as set forth in subsection below.
(c) Collection shall be made at the street curb or alley property lines as determined by the Superintendent of the Sanitation Department. Trash carts must be placed within three (3) feet of the curb or alley with lid opening facing the street or alley and the wheels toward the residence. Trash carts must be placed at least three (3) feet from any tree, pole, mailbox, etc., and at least ten (10) feet from parked cars. Multiple trash carts must be spaced three (3) feet apart.
(d) When, in the opinion of the Superintendent of the Sanitation Department, an alternate route of collection will better serve the City and the person whose acceptable waste is being collected, the Superintendent may use such an alternate route.
(e) All trash carts shall be returned by the City employees to designated pick-up points set forth in subsection (c) above. Owners shall then return trash carts to the point of origin/storage location and shall not be left at the street curb or alley property line. Trash carts must be removed from the curb or alley by 7:00 p.m. the day of pick-up.
(f) Additional fees shall apply as follows:
(1) If one (1) cubic yard or less outside of trash cart.
A. Trash will be picked-up and a service fee of ten dollars ($10.00) will be added to the monthly utility bill for each separate offense.
(2) Bulk items and/or excessive trash in excess of one (1) cubic yard outside closed trash cart, or if too much trash or items that are too large to fit in the trash cart, the bulk items and/or excessive trash will be picked up and bulk pick-up rates will apply pursuant to Section 937.15.
