(a) The urban county government will provide collection service for dumpster containers as described in the division of waste management Dumpster Service Guide at any multifamily residential structure, office, commercial and industrial unit, or other building within the full urban services district or a partial urban services district which provides for refuse collection, upon request, subject to the approval of the commissioner of environmental quality.
(b) Dumpster containers will be required to be furnished at the expense of the owner and shall meet the screening requirements contained in section 16-4.1 at the following locations:
(1) Apartment buildings, townhouses or condominiums of seven (7) units or larger.
(2) All office, commercial and industrial units or other buildings, including apartment complexes, townhouse complexes and condominium complexes, which, as determined by the commissioner of environmental quality generate a sufficient amount of refuse to warrant the use of a dumpster (approximately eight (8) cubic yards per any collection day or three (3) or more roll cart containers of refuse normally).
(3) Exempt from this requirement are existing apartment buildings, office, commercial and industrial units or other buildings which the director of waste management determines either do not have sufficient space to properly locate a dumpster or have special circumstances which make the use of a dumpster at that location wholly impracticable. Existing properties which have sufficient space but do not have dumpster collection may be ordered to change type of service and comply with subsection 16-4.1(a)(4) by the commissioner of environmental quality within one hundred twenty (120) days of formal written notice. Failure to comply with the order to change service will result in enforcement action pursuant to article XII.
(4) Properties otherwise subject to subsections (1) and (2) may be approved by the director of waste management for rollcart service upon request, provided the property is in compliance with subsection 16-4.1(a)(3) and (4) and waste generation from the property is not sufficient to require dumpster service. Should waste generation at the property increase so that rollcart service is not sufficient the property shall be required to change to dumpster service as provided in subsections (1) and (2) and the Dumpster Service Guide.
(5) Where rollcart containers are permitted pursuant to subsection (3) or (4), the urban county government shall make a maximum of two (2) collections per week from each exempted establishment.
(c) The urban county government may provide an additional dumpster collection service for the separate collection of recyclable materials to any property receiving dumpster collection service. Recycling dumpster containers must be furnished at the expense of the owner in accordance with subsection (b) above.
(d) The director, division of waste management shall have the authority to designate the location for collection with consideration for such factors as: ease of accessibility, convenience for customers; hazardous conditions such as cables, utility poles, equipment clearance, animals; and collection costs.
