(A) Residential point of collection for garbage, trash, and recycling service shall be deemed curbside, no later than 6:00 a.m. EST and must be removed back to the house by 9:00 p.m., on scheduled service day for all service points with the exception of the following: aged, feeble, or handicapped residents for whom it would be impractical or difficult to transport the container to curbside, shall be serviced from an easily accessible point adjacent to their home. In no case shall the city or its agent be requested to enter garages, carports, on decks, and the like for the collection of exempted back door solid waste collection. The resident shall complete art approved application for back door service verifying the sole residency (or physical impairment of ALL residents of the residence) and physical impairment per the agreed upon request for back door pickup, thus qualifying them for back door collection. The city also agrees to work to minimize the number of back door collection accounts by offering various sized roll-out carts to said residents as described as aged, feeble, or handicapped.
(B) If a resident’s roll-out cart is not out when the garbage or recycling vehicle comes to pick it up on collection day and the resident is unable to wait until the following week for garbage and two weeks for recycling, a $15 service call-back fee is available to empty the container on a day that is not the regularly scheduled service day.
(C) It shall be unlawful if garbage, trash, or recycling roll-out containers are not placed back to the house by 9:00 p.m. for storage. If the carts are left out after 9:00 p.m. on the scheduled service day, a one time courtesy letter will be sent to all new accounts reminding the resident or business that the container must be removed from the curb by 9:00 p.m. on the scheduled service day. If roll out cart remains on the curb for five days after this letter is sent, a $25 fee will be assessed and placed on the utility bill. If the container is not rolled back to the house by 9:00 p.m. on subsequent scheduled service days a $25 fee will be assessed and placed on the utility bill after verification by a city employee.
