A.
Containers. Solid waste and recycling containers shall be stored
in a garage, in the side yard or in the rear yard. Containers may
only be stored in the front yard when no other suitable place is available
or accessible, and then only when such storage abuts the main dwelling
or other structure.
B.
Solid waste and recycling not placed in an approved container, including but not limited to heavy items, appliances, tires, trash, and yard waste placed or stored on private property for longer than seven days shall be considered a public nuisance subject to the provisions of Chapter 165 of this Municipal Code.
A.
Approved solid waste and recycling containers shall be placed at
the curb for collection no earlier than noon on the day before the
collection day. Containers shall be removed from the curb and returned
to their regular storage location by 11:30 p.m. on the day they are
serviced.
B.
Items for which a special collection has been arranged may be placed
at the curb no earlier than noon on the day before the day they will
be collected.
Only containers placed in accordance with the regulations set
forth in this article will be serviced. Refuse, recycling, trash or
other items placed at the curb or in the public right-of-way in violation
of the regulations set forth in this article will not be collected
with the regular collection. Items not collected must be removed by
the occupant from the curb or public right-of-way by 11:30 p.m. on
the collection day.
A.
Notice. If solid waste, garbage, recycling, refuse or any other item
is placed at the curb or within the limits of the public right-of-way
for collection in violation of this article, the Village may deliver
a notice to the occupant, and to the property owner if different,
requiring the removal of the item within seven days of the receipt
of the letter. The letter will be delivered by a representative of
the Village in person to the occupant when possible, and when not
possible, shall be sent by certified mail. If the property owner is
not the occupant, the letter shall be sent by certified mail to the
owner.
B.
Removal; special charge. If the item or items for which a notice was sent pursuant to Subsection A are not removed within the time given, the Village shall arrange with the Village's collection contractor for removal of the item, and shall charge the cost thereof to the property owner as a special charge pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 66.0627. If the special charge is not paid within 30 days of billing therefor, the special charge shall be a lien on the property and, together with an administrative charge in an amount set by the Village Board, shall be added to the current or next tax roll for collection. The special charge provided for herein shall not preclude proceeding under any other ordinance or law relating to the same or other matter.
C.
Appeal. The imposition of a special charge hereunder may be appealed
solely to the Village Board. Appeals filed pursuant to this section
shall be filed no later than 30 days from the date the bill is received
for the special charge. The Village Board shall hear and consider
the matter at a regular meeting held within 15 days after receipt
of the appeal, and may affirm, reverse or modify the imposition of
the charge.
The first offense for a violation of this article shall result in a warning to the occupant and the property owner, if different. Any person who violates any provision of this article, or any regulation, rule or order made hereunder, after having been warned, shall be subject to a penalty as provided in Chapter 1, Article II, of this Municipal Code. The issuance of a citation shall not preclude proceeding under any other ordinance or law relating to the same or any other matter.
