A. Placement: All garbage and refuse subject to garbage collection by the Town shall be placed at a pick up point at or near the premises designated from time to time by regulation adopted by the Town Council. The container must be placed by seven o'clock (7:00) A.M. on Thursday, the designated day of collection (holidays may cause the day to be adjusted from time to time, notification will be announced by notice contained within the water bill), and at such time or times as shall be designated by regulations of the Town Council. All garbage containers placed for collection must be at least four feet (4') apart from any other garbage container or other object. Any container placed too close may be denied collection.
B. Day Of Collection: Until otherwise provided by regulation, garbage and refuse must not be set out upon the street for collection any more than the prior evening of the day before collection and must be set out on the day of collection before the hour of collection designated by regulation of the Town Council. The container shall be placed at the edge of the street with the wheels of the container facing away from the street. The lid of the container must be completely closed. In cases of construction in the curbside area or in cases of other obstructions, the container shall be placed for collection in the nearest accessible point of access to the regular point of collection. The point of collection must be clear of trees, overhead wires, poles, mailboxes, cars and any other overhead obstruction or at grade obstruction (mailboxes and fences) which would prevent or interfere with the mechanical lifting mechanism from grasping, raising and emptying the container without the driver having to reposition the collection vehicle and allowing the driver to pull directly away to the next stop without backing the vehicle. The collector (service provider) will not collect any residential refuse which is not contained within the garbage container.
C. Removal Of Empty Receptacles: All empty receptacles must be removed from the street as soon as practicable after being emptied, and in every case, must be removed from the street the same day they are emptied. Receptacles shall not be permitted to remain on the street longer than may be necessary for the removal of the contents. (2017 Code; amd. Ord. 2022-01, 3-10-2022)
