(A) Every household or occupant of any dwelling house, boarding house, restaurant or any place of business, having garbage to dispose of, who does not otherwise provide for the disposal of garbage in a sanitary manner, shall provide himself or herself with one or more fly-tight metal or plastic cans sufficient to receive all garbage which may accumulate between the times of collection.
(`87 Code, § 506.10)
(B) Garbage cans shall be kept at the rear of the property if there is an alley and shall be accessible to collectors at all reasonable times.
(C) A permit is required for roll-off containers to be placed in the city. Roll-off containers must be placed entirely on private property, unless permission is granted by the city to place the container on public property.
(1) A container placed in the public right-of-way must have a flasher or reflector on the outside corner facing traffic at all times. Where traffic may approach from either side, the container must have a flasher or reflector on the outside corner on both sides.
(2) Containers shall not block a public sidewalk or be placed in a location that restricts the "sight lines" of an intersection. "Sight lines" will be determined by the city.
(3) Dumpsters placed in the public right-of-way for construction, remodeling or demolition projects shall be removed immediately upon the completion of the project. No dumpster shall be placed in the public right-of-way for more than 30 days. An extension of the 30 day rule may be allowed with written permission from the city.
(4) No container shall be placed on streets, sides of streets or areas designated as "No Parking." Dumpsters shall not be placed in public parking lots or parks without prior written permission from the city.
(5) The owner and/or the user of a container on a public right-of-way are responsible for any public property, street, curb and gutter, or public infrastructure damage.
(6) No container shall be placed in the public right-of-way during the winter snow season, defined for the purpose of this chapter as the period from November 1 to the following April 1. The city may issue a special permit to a property owner for placement of a container in the city right-of-way during the winter snow season due to the necessity of immediate cleanup of solid waste or storage of personal property due to fire, flood, or other calamity. The permit would be issued on a temporary basis not to exceed 30 days, and the permit may provide additional requirements for visibility. Extensions cannot be granted for more than the aforesaid time period unless a longer period is granted by the City Council.
(7) The permit will expire after 30 days and the roll-off container must be timely removed unless a new permit is obtained.
