[Amended 6-13-2022 by Ord. No. 51-2022]
   A.   Dumpster, cart, toter, or trash receptacle lessees, owners, or permittees shall be responsible for keeping the area around the container clean and sanitary as required by herein, Health Code Regulations (Chapter 288, Part 1) and the Property Maintenance Code (Chapter 180, Part 14).
   B.   Permanent dumpster, cart, toter, or trash receptacles shall not be located in public right-of-way, or areas visible from public right-of-way, unless permitted by the Solid Waste Division. The property owner or lessee shall make application for permanent dumpsters in the Solid Waste Division. Permanent dumpsters, carts, toters or trash receptacles permitted to be placed on private property require a zoning permit and the submission of a site plan showing the location of dumpsters and the proposed screening, as per Zoning Ordinance § 600-916.
      (1)   Dumpsters of three cubic yards or greater may not be placed on sidewalk.
      (2)   Dumpsters of three cubic yards or less may not be placed in the street.
      (3)   All dumpsters, permanent and temporary shall maintain, on the outside of each dumpster in legible letters not less than three (3) inches in height, the owner's name or company logo, telephone number, and the dumpster permit issued by the Solid Waste Division for such container. All dumpsters shall be fitted with Department of Transportation regulated reflective tape in a vertically stripped fashion on each of the four corners from the top of the base (or bottom), extending around each corner by a minimum of two feet.
   C.   Temporary dumpsters for construction, demolition or rehabilitation projects shall be permitted by the Building/Trades Division. A temporary construction trailer permitted to be placed on private property requires a zoning permit as per Zoning Ordinance § 600-604-A and the submission of a site plan showing the location of dumpsters, as per Zoning Ordinance § 600-916.
   D.   Each property shall have no more than one toter or cart per unit to a maximum of three toters or carts per address no larger than 65 gallons each and stored per property within the public right-of-way or visible from the public right-or-way. All dumpsters, carts, toters, or trash receptacles permitted to be in the public right-of-way or visible from the public right-or-way shall be screened as per this section. Permanent dumpsters, carts, toters or trash receptacles permitted to be placed within the public right-of-way or visible from the public right-of-way require a zoning permit and submission of a site plan showing the location of dumpsters, along with the proposed screening, as per Zoning Ordinance § 600-916.
   E.   The fee schedules for temporary dumpsters and permanent dumpsters, carts and toters located in the public-right of way, or visible from public rights-of-way can be found in City Code § 212-138.
   F.   Emptying - All dumpsters, carts, toters, and trash receptacles are required to be emptied at least once a week. If they contain "non-grindable" food waste, they should be emptied every three days. [Additional collection(s) may be required by the City.].
   G.   Cleaning. Dumpsters should be kept clean, in good repair, and free of offensive odors. They should be cleaned a minimum of two times a year. (Additional cleaning may be required by the City.) Cleaning dumpsters on the street or sidewalk is not permitted and will constitute a violation.
   H.   Persons who do not comply with the Provisions of this Part may be fined or otherwise penalized in accordance with § 496-107 Administration; violations and penalties, herein, and may also have their Business Privilege License revoked.
