(A) Solid Waste Containers. The City shall furnish containers for the holding and collection of all solid waste intended for collection by the City. The City’s customers shall keep the containers in good repair and in a sanitary condition. The containers are City property. The City will replace containers which are found to be no longer serviceable through normal wear and tear free of charge. The City will replace containers which are found to be no longer serviceable due to the City’s customer’s negligent care, maintenance in an unsanitary condition, misuse, or intentional damage for a fee. The fee will be set by resolution of City Council from time to time. The City will replace for the same fee any container lost or stolen during a City’s customer’s care. There is a fee for the container which is set by resolution of City Council from time to time.

(B) Garbage (Solid Waste Which Is Organic and Can Rot). Garbage (as defined in this chapter) shall be placed in a leakproof plastic bag before putting it in the container. Examples of garbage include but are not limited to food waste, animal waste, grass clippings, and the like.

(C) Fit Inside the Container. The City shall only collect solid waste that fits inside the container. The City shall not collect any material set outside the container. Discarded boxes shall always be flattened (cut or folded) so that they fit inside the container.

(D) No Hot Material and No Liquids. Hot materials shall not be placed in the container including but not limited to coals from barbeque which are still hot. No liquids shall be placed in the container.

(E) No Overloading With Heavy Material. Heavy items which will overload the container shall not be placed in the container. Example of such heavy materials include but are not limited to concrete, bricks, stone, lumber, soil, tree trunks, auto parts, and the like. The City’s customer may haul such material to a landfill or request a special pickup service from the City to collect it for a fee which City Council sets by resolution from time to time.

(F) Byproducts. Any commercial or manufacturing establishment which, by the nature of its operations, creates an unusual amount of byproduct solid waste may be required by the City to dispose of its own waste as opposed to having the City provide the service.

(G) Hazardous Waste. Hazardous waste shall not be placed in the container. Examples of hazardous waste include but are not limited to paint, spray cans, gasoline, petroleum oils, and the like. The City’s customers shall properly dispose of hazardous waste at a hazardous waste site. At the discretion of City staff, the City may from time to time provide a program of hazardous waste collection.

(H) Construction or Landscaping Debris. Waste soil, concrete, masonry blocks, sod, rocks and other construction or landscaping debris shall be hauled to a landfill or disposed of legally and properly by the owner, tenant or legally authorized occupant of the premises.
