(A) The occupant of every building, premises, or place where garbage does or may exist, except as
otherwise provided in this chapter, shall provide himself or herself with a garbage can made of substantial galvanized iron or other non-rusting material, in which he or she shall deposit all garbage existing at the place occupied by him or her. The can shall be provided with handles and with a tight-fitting cover made of the same materials as the can. All garbage cans shall be water tight. They shall be of a size that can be conveniently handled by the garbage collector, not to exceed in holding capacity more than 95 gallons. Municipal solid waste will be placed in receptacles provided by occupant or by containers provided by Town.
(B) The Town will provide either curbside or backdoor collection of municipal solid waste (MSW) for residential and small commercial establishments. Backdoor collection is to be placed at or near the rear
entrance of any residence or business establishment in a place that they can be conveniently reached by the garbage collector. Access routes shall not be obstructed by steps, bicycles, motor vehicles or fences. Service will not be provided if the containers are placed inside a garage, carport, or storage shed or when dogs or other animals interfere with collectors. The distance of the garbage cans from the nearest point traveled by the garbage truck shall not exceed 200 feet.
(C) Any commercial or property tax exempt, non-profit establishment, including residential, which generates more than 180 gallons of garbage weekly shall provide itself with a dumpster or other appropriate garbage receptacle. Garbage collection service for the establishments shall not be provided by the Town.
(D) Any apartment complex, condominium complex, and mobile home park shall provide itself with an appropriately sized dumpster or dumpsters for garbage collection. For the purpose of this section, a complex shall be defined as any development having 10 or more units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, complexes receiving hand collection service as of June 30, 1998 shall not be required to comply with the provisions of this division (D). The Town will provide collection service for all complexes mentioned in this division (D).
(E) All garbage receptacles shall be kept reasonably clean by the use of effective cleaners and disinfectants.
