article and other City ordinances.
A.
General container standards. Suitable containers of a type approved
by the City shall be provided by the property owner or tenant in which
to store all solid waste, except for bulky or certain yard wastes
as provided for herein. Containers, in order to be approved, shall
provide for efficient, safe and sanitary handling of solid wastes.
They shall be maintained in a nuisance- and odor-free condition and
shall be sufficient to prevent the scattering of contents by weather
conditions or animals.
B.
Approved containers. Approved residential solid waste containers
shall consist of metal or plastic containers with tight-fitting covers
and suitable handles, commonly referred to as "garbage cans," or plastic
garbage bags which are closed by means of a tie. Approved containers
shall be a maximum of 30 gallons in size. Containers, including contents,
shall not exceed in weight that which one person can safely lift (50
pounds). Metal garbage cans shall be of sufficient thickness to resist
denting during normal handling by collection crews. Plastic garbage
cans shall consist of plastic material not damaged by freezing and
not susceptible to melting. They shall be capable of being handled
during hot and cold weather without damage during normal handling
by collection crews. Plastic bags shall be of sufficient strength
to allow lifting and loading of contents without tearing. Each unit
will be allowed to dispose of rubbish (not garbage) in small cardboard
boxes (no more than nine cubic feet in volume), provided that the
contents therein are covered and secured, as well as newspapers and
magazines, as long as they are tied into bundles a maximum of 10 inches
high. Should bundles, cardboard boxes and/or contents, because of
weather conditions, become wet and soaked, they will not be collected
but must be stored by the owner in an approved container for collection
on the next collection day. Cardboard boxes will be considered disposable
and will not be emptied and returned to the curb.
C.
Defective containers. All garbage cans incapable of continuing to
meet the definition of an approved container because of damage, loss
of handles, or other factors shall be tagged by the collection crew.
The collection crew will also leave notification of the defects on
the premises. Where garbage cans from several residential units are
placed for collection at the same location, the garbage cans shall
be identified with the address number so ownership can be determined.
D.
Householder to provide containers. It shall be the duty of every
occupant, tenant and proprietor of any residential unit to provide
and at all times keep, in a suitable place readily accessible to the
garbage collector, garbage containers capable of holding all garbage
which would ordinarily accumulate on such premises between the times
of successive collections. The owner of any multiple dwelling shall
furnish or require the tenant thereof to furnish proper garbage containers.
Garbage containers located at multiple dwellings shall be marked so
as to indicate the residential unit to which they belong.
E.
Ashes. Cold, completely extinguished ashes may be left for collection
in cardboard containers.
F.
Illegal containers. Containers not approved consist of metal barrels
and drums, wooden or cardboard barrels, wheelbarrows and other such
containers not approved by this article. These containers will not
be emptied regardless of contents or weight.
A.
Placement for collection.
(1)
Residential solid waste shall be accessible to collection crews.
Collection by packer truck is limited to rubbish and garbage. Residential
solid waste in approved containers shall be placed immediately behind
the curb of the public street for collection. Bulky wastes from residential
units shall likewise be placed in neat, orderly fashion behind the
curb. During winter months, solid waste shall not be placed on top
of the snowbank, 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 unless it is placed at the
curb of a public street. Residential units shall bring their solid
waste to the public right-of-way for collection. Should collection
crews be unable to discharge contents of garbage cans into collection
vehicles using normal handing procedures, the cans, including contents,
will be left at curbside. The owner shall make provisions to assure
that the solid waste therein can be collected on the next collection
day. Collection crews will not empty garbage cans by means other than
dumping.[1]
(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.
(3)
To be collectable, brush will be cut and securely tied in bundles
not to exceed four feet, four inches in length and 12 inches in diameter,
with individual branches or limbs not to exceed two inches in diameter.

City employees or employees of licensed collectors will not enter any structures to remove garbage or refuse, except by written agreement with the property owner.

thereof, in a container for collection; provided, however, that this

human consumption.

or other food wastes in a container for collection unless they are

which permits the contents to blow, sift, leak or fall therefrom.
If spillage does occur, the collection crew shall immediately return
spilled materials to the collection vehicle and shall properly clean,
or have cleaned, the area. All vehicles used for the collection and
transportation of solid waste shall be durable, easily cleanable and
leakproof, if necessary, considering the type of waste and its moisture
content. Collection vehicles shall be cleaned frequently to prevent
nuisances and insect breeding and shall be maintained in good repair.
