A. Each multi-family residential property or business shall ensure that waste material containers are stored within a structure on the property, within a trash enclosure, in an alley adjacent to the property, or, if not feasible, in the section of the alley closest to the property. Exceptions to this subsection may be approved by the solid waste manager. The franchised waste hauler is solely responsible for obtaining all required permits or other approval from the city when a container is stored on public property.
B. All solid waste containers must be water-tight, have tightly fitted covers, and must not leak or allow odors to escape. The solid waste manager may require special container equipment or container labeling with customer-identifying information, in designated areas. Special equipment may include, but is not limited to, functioning locking mechanisms.
C. Notwithstanding the requirements of this section, generators are not required to set out or store recyclable or organic materials together with solid waste. Generators may appropriately store recyclable or organic materials for collection separate from solid waste.
D. Each multi-family residential property or business shall ensure waste material containers are of sufficient size and serviced with adequate frequency to meet the solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic material generation demands of the premises as set forth in this chapter.
