Latest version.

  • (a)

    Placement.

    (1)

    Residential solid waste containers shall be accessible to collection crews. Residential solid waste and recycling in approved containers shall be placed immediately behind the curb of the public street for collection or in a place designated by the city refuse hauler. During winter months, solid waste and recycling containers shall not be placed on top of the snow bank, nor shall it be placed in the roadway. The owner shall either shovel out an area behind the curb in which to place his wastes or he shall place it in his driveway. Collection crews will not collect residential solid waste or recyclables unless it is placed at the curb of a public street. Residential units shall bring their solid waste and recycling containers to the public right-of-way for collection. Should collection crews be unable to discharge contents of solid waste or recyclable containers into collection vehicles using normal handling procedures, the containers, including contents, will be left at curbside. The owner shall make provisions to ensure that the solid waste or recyclables therein can be collected on the next collection day.

    (2)

    No garbage containers or other containers for refuse other than those of the city shall be placed, kept, stored or located within the right-of-way of a street or alley; provided, however, that the common council may authorize the location of such containers within the public right-of-way at specified places and times when such location is necessary for the expeditious collection and disposition of refuse.

    (b)

    Time of placement. All solid waste and recycling containers for refuse, rubbish, and recyclables shall be placed in collection locations as designated in subsection (a) of this section not earlier than 24 hours before the regular collection time. All solid waste and recycling containers for refuse, garbage, and recycle disposal shall be removed from the curbside collection point within 24 hours after the regular collection time. Employees will not enter any structures to remove garbage or refuse unless special provisions are made for elderly and handicapped.
