(A) Type. The city shall determine the type, style, nature, and size of trash containers to be used by those wishing to utilize weekly city trash collection service. The city shall provide all those authorized to utilize city trash collection services with one 96-gallon container (hereinafter “toter”). Upon request an additional toter shall be available to residents at no additional cost. Trash containers (toters) shall be the property of the city. The property owner or tenant shall not relocate or move the toter(s) from the property to which it was delivered without the city’s prior approval. The container (toter) shall remain at the property to which it was delivered and may only be moved therefrom by the city.
(B) Container collection location. The city shall designate the day of the week (said day may be changed by the city due to holidays, emergencies, or other causes) and the placement location of trash containers on city right-of-ways. On the day of the week designated, persons desiring to have their container emptied by the city shall locate their trash container at the designated location. Except for delays due to inclement weather or holidays, all containers shall be placed for collection not earlier than the evening prior to collection, nor later than the normal pick up time on the collection day. Except for delays due to inclement weather or holidays, all containers shall be removed from the collection site on or before the evening on the day the collection service has been performed. Containers that remain at the collection site for more than 24 hours after collection will be considered abandoned and will be retrieved by the city.
(C) No collection. Trash and garbage not placed in a city- approved “toter” provided by the city and positioned at the site designated by the city shall not be collected by the city and must be removed by the property owner at his or her expense. All trash must be placed inside the “toter.” Cardboard boxes must be broken down and be placed inside the “toter.” The “toter” lid must close and trash should not be placed on top of “toter” lids or overflow the “toter.”
(D) Additional toters. The city shall not collect more than four toters from any single residential user without assessing an additional charge to be determined contractually between the city and the user. That additional charge shall be determined based upon the cost incurred by the city.
