Commercial solid waste service is available to commercial customers
within the city limits. Commercial solid waste rates shall be based
on container size and customer’s requested service level. All
commercial solid waste rates shall be set by the city council.
(Ordinance O-20-009, sec. 2, adopted 5/7/20)
Commercial solid waste containers issued to customers shall
remain the property of the entity providing the solid waste services.
Customers shall only use the containers for their proper and intended
purpose and shall not overload (by weight or volume) or alter the
containers.
Containers must be set in a place and manner approved by the
city. Lids and doors of all containers shall be kept closed at all
times except when the container is being filled. Screening must comply
with applicable zoning regulations. The city may provide exceptions
to screening requirements on a case-by-case basis.
All solid waste shall be bagged prior to placement in a container
to minimize wind-blown litter and scattered debris caused by spills
or animals. The customer for whom a container has been furnished shall
be responsible for keeping the area around the container clean and
clear of all garbage and trash. Container lids shall be kept closed
to prevent scattering of the contents thereof by the wind, and so
that insects and vermin may not have access to the contents thereof.
Customers shall provide safe and unobstructed access to containers
on their designated collection days. If a container is blocked or
contains prohibited items, it will not be serviced. The customer may
be charged for an additional pickup, at a rate to be established by
city council.
