(A) Solid Waste Transportation: No solid waste shall be removed and carried on and along the streets and alleys of the City, except by the City or its contractor. Solid waste shall be carried, conveyed or hauled in conveyances so constructed as to be dustproof and so arranged that it is impossible for the contents of such conveyances to sift through or fall upon the streets and alleys. The contents of such conveyances must be further protected so as to prevent the same from being blown upon the streets, alleys or adjacent lands. All solid waste accumulated at any private lot or parcel of land, private residence or dwelling, or at any store, shop, restaurant, hotel, cafe, apartment house, tenement, boarding house, school, and at any other place in the City where solid waste accumulates, shall be removed by the City at regular intervals of not less than once a week unless otherwise directed by the City Manager or the City Manager's designee.
(B) City Manager Directs Removal: It shall be the duty of the contractor, when directed by the City Manager or the City Manager's designee, to immediately call at any premises in the City to which the contractor may be directed by the City Manager or the City Manager's designee, and where solid waste, organics, or dry recyclables are accumulated and there collect and remove such solid waste, organics, or dry recyclables in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
(C) Organics Transportation: Under the Organics Pick Up Program, once the organics is placed at curbside or other collection point by a residential customer for collection under the provisions of this chapter or is placed into a bin or other container provided by the contract agent to any apartment building, mobile home park, motel, hotel, assisted living facility, restaurant, or other place of business or industry within the City, it shall be unlawful for any person other than the contract agent and its officers, agents and employees, to pick up, collect, take, appropriate, or remove any organics materials from any such container. If any person shall opt not to participate in the Organics Pick Up Program provided by and between the City and the contract agent, nothing shall prevent that individual from removing and carrying organics to a legally designated recycling station.
(D) Dry Recyclables Transportation: Under the Dry Recyclables Pick Up Program, once the dry recyclables are placed into a container at the curbside or other collection point by a residential customer, or have been placed into a bin or other container provided for that purpose by the contract agent to any apartment building, mobile home park, motel, hotel, assisted living facility, restaurant or other place of business or industry within the city, it shall be unlawful for any person other than the contract agent, its officers, agents and employees, to pick up, collect, take, appropriate or remove any dry recyclables from any such container. If any person shall choose to provide for recycling individually rather than participate in the recycling program provided by and between the city and the contract agent, nothing herein shall prevent any such person from removing and carrying such dry recyclables to a legally designated recycling station.
