  § 11-11. Garbage and refuse containers—Generally; maximum contents; placement.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    Occupants of buildings or premises in the city where garbage or refuse results or accumulates from activities therein or thereon shall provide sufficient garbage containers or commercial dumpsters therefor; provided, however, that one- and two-family units shall not be served by commercial dumpsters, except during construction or remodeling, for a period not to exceed six (6) months.

    (b)

    All garbage and refuse set out for collection in the city shall be placed in a garbage container or commercial dumpster unless the volume is such that this is impossible or impractical. In such event, it shall be the duty of the person accumulating such refuse to take prompt steps arranging for hauling the same to a proper disposal point. In no event shall putrescible materials be set out, except in a garbage container or commercial dumpster.

    (c)

    On the day(s) that collection is scheduled, it shall be the occupant's responsibility to place the container(s) in the prescribed location. Where an alley open to traffic is available, each container shall be placed at the rear of the property next to the alley. Where no alley exists, the container(s) shall be placed on a public boulevard adjacent to the public street. No container shall be so placed before 8:00 p.m. the day prior to collection and shall be removed by 6:00 p.m. on the day of collection. If garbage is set out for collection in bags, such bags shall not be set outdoors before 6:00 a.m. on the day of collection. Commercial dumpsters shall be unloaded by the refuse haulers at the point of storage on the property.

    (d)

    Persons with medical disabilities which prohibit the placement of garbage containers at curbside will be allowed to make special pickup arrangements with their hauler, provided they have a signed affidavit from their physician.

    (e)

    During all other times when garbage and refuse is not scheduled for collection, all containers shall be stored in a building or behind the front building line of the premises. For uses other than single- and two-family residential uses, required garbage and refuse areas shall be provided pursuant to zoning requirements set forth in Appendix B of the Code of Ordinances.
