(A) It shall be the duty of every residential customer to use and maintain in good order and repair any bin or container provided by the city or its contractor for the deposit of wastes for collection by the city or its contractor or for other proper disposal as provided in this chapter.
(B) In business, commercial, industrial or multi-family premises, dumpsters are required and provided by the city or its contractor and, unless otherwise authorized by the Solid Waste Director or designee, it shall be unlawful to use any other container for garbage or trash or recyclable disposal. Where a customer deems it necessary to use a roll-off container in the management of garbage, trash or recyclables, said service shall be provided exclusively by the city or its contractor. It shall be the duty of all persons using dumpsters to place waste therein compactly. All boxes and cartons must be broken down. The space in such dumpsters must be efficiently used. All doors must be closed and properly latched after any waste is placed therein. Such dumpsters shall be used exclusively for garbage or trash. All garbage, including wet slop, shall be placed in plastic bags designed specifically for garbage disposal, a minimum five mil. in thickness. The plastic bags shall be of sufficient strength to resist tearing under normal handling and shall be tied or fastened when placed for collection.
(C) No person utilizing any bin as specified in division (A) or dumpster as specified in division (B), shall place any waste in any of such containers, unless it may be placed therein without spillage or overflow from such containers, nor shall any waste be placed along the side of, or otherwise on the top of, any such container when such container is properly closed. In any commercial establishment or multi-family units being served by a dumpster, the customer shall also be responsible for complying with the provisions of this division.
(D) No person shall transport waste to another location except for purposes of:
(1) Approved recycling;
(2) Sale; or
(3) Other permitted disposal.
(E) Only a duly authorized agent or employee of the city may remove or relocate a dumpster or roll-off container from its city-approved location.
