During the spring season, the city may provide a curbside pickup service for yard waste, trash and household rubbish and a limited drop-off site for certain larger items. The service will be limited to Shorewood residents and the date of the cleanup will be determined by the City Council each year.
Subd. 1. Curbside pickup.
a. Items must be on the curb by 7:00 a.m. and will be picked up at residential sites only. The following items will be accepted for curbside pickup:
(1) Brush, cut in four foot lengths and bundled so as to be manageable by one person;
(2) Yard waste in bags, grass clippings and leaves;
(3) General household rubbish, including small furniture items.
b. Brush and yard waste must be piled and separated from the trash.
c. The following items will not be accepted for curbside pickup:

(2) Chemicals, liquid paint, weed spray, solvents and other chemical products.
d. A fee as provided in § 1301.02 of this code will be charged to each residential unit within the city for the pickup service. The fee will be based upon the total cost of the service to the city, apportioned equally among the residential units within the city and will be included in the utility billing statement sent to each residential account for the second quarter of the year.
Subd. 2. Limited drop-off site.
a. A drop-off site will be available between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. at the Public Works Garage. Items will be accepted and fees charged as provided in § 1301.02 of this code.
b. Fees will be collected at the time an item is dropped off, and the site will be limited for use by Shorewood residents only.
Subd. 3. Delinquent accounts. All delinquent accounts may be certified by the Administrator who shall prepare an assessment roll each year providing for assessment of the delinquent accounts against the respective property served. This assessment roll shall be delivered to the City Council for adoption on or before November 30 of each year, and upon approval thereof, the Administrator shall certify to the County Auditor the amount due, plus a certification fee as established by resolution of the City Council, and the County Auditor shall thereupon enter the amount as part of the tax levy on the premises to be collected during the ensuing year. The action may be optional or subsequent to taking legal action to collect delinquent accounts.
