A. All single-family dwellings and multiple-family dwellings of four (4) or fewer dwellings on a single site shall be required to deposit garbage containers supplied by the Contractor. Garbage and refuse not enclosed in containers supplied by the Contractor will not be collected, unless otherwise provided for in this Chapter. Such uncollected garbage and refuse shall not be permitted by the owner or occupant of the premises to remain in the City's rights-of-way, in any alley, upon any street, or curbside for more than twelve (12) hours after refusal of the Contractor to collect such garbage and refuse.
B. Customers shall keep all refuse and garbage within their private premises until the time when receptacles are placed for collection. Residential garbage shall be placed out for collection no earlier than 5:00 p.m. on the day prior to the regularly scheduled day for collection. No resident may leave a receptacle after collection for more than twenty-four (24) hours after that collection in the right-of-way.
C. Residential garbage shall be placed as close to the front curb as possible but shall not be placed on the sidewalk and shall be clear of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Where a curb does not exist, the refuse receptacle shall be placed on the property side, outside the traffic boundaries of the road. The garbage receptacle shall be clearly visible and accessible to collection crews and free from any obstructions including, but not limited to, trees, power poles, mailboxes, shrubbery, walls, fences and vehicles. Neither the Contractor nor its agents will enter upon private land in order to make collections and pickups. The garbage receptacle shall be placed forward facing the street or alley, with the hingetop being located on the side immediately adjacent to the owner's property.
D. Garbage and refuse shall not be stacked so that it rises above the rim of the receptacle, nor shall garbage and refuse be stacked on top of the closed container. The customer shall cleanup refuse spills around the receptacle within twenty-four (24) hours of the spill.
E. All garbage receptacles shall be kept in a clean and sanitary condition by the owner or person using the same, and all receptacles shall be tightly covered at all times except when garbage is being deposited therein or removed thereof, and shall at all times be proofed against access by vermin to the contents thereof. The garbage shall be bagged prior to depositing it into the receptacle. (Ord. 2017-3, 9-19-2017)
