No person shall hereafter collect refuse, rubbish, brush or trash within the city limits of the city without first having obtained from the city council, under the provisions of this division, a written permit for such purpose, provided, however, that nothing contained in this chapter shall prevent residential customers from disposing of their own refuse, trash or rubbish individually if such is done within the terms of this chapter and particularly section 66-2.
[Code 1984, ch. 6, § 5(G)]
(a)
Contractor
shall provide an on-call service for the collection of large quantities
of debris, including temporary roll-off service. Upon request by a
customer, contractor shall provide an estimate of the cost to remove
and dispose of such items and upon mutual agreement between Contractor
and customer, the contractor shall perform the service. The agreed
upon fee for the service shall be paid by the customer immediately
upon completion of the work performed.
(b)
The
city manager will be the authority for the approval of charges for
any service not contemplated by this division and for the disposition
of any dispute between a customer and contractor. The city manager
may designate a city employee to act as an enforcement officer hereunder
and to act as a liaison between city and contractor. Any provisions
contained in this division to the contrary notwithstanding, the contractor
shall not be required to collect and remove debris or other trash
resulting from new construction or a sizeable amount of trash and
debris being cleared in preparation for construction. Provided, however,
upon the request of any residential or commercial customer, the contractor
shall collect and remove such trash and debris and shall receive for
such services a fee or charge mutually agreed between Contractor and
the requesting customer.
(c)
Should
a dispute arise between the city, contractor, and/or a customer as
to whether the contractor actually failed to make a collection (whether
the contractor missed a pickup), the decision of the city manager
in such matters shall be final and city and contractor shall abide
by such decision. However, if any customer fails to timely place brush,
permanent containers, disposable containers or recycling containers
out, maintains improper or inadequate containers for the nature, volume
or weight of refuse, rubbish and trash to be removed from the premises,
or places improper bundles or volumes of brush or trash for collection,
contractor may refrain from collecting all or a portion of such brush,
refuse, rubbish, trash, yard waste or recyclable materials and shall
notify the city of the reason for such noncollection. The contractor
shall also provide notice to the customer of the reason for such noncollection,
unless such noncollection is the result of the customer's failure
to timely place the brush or containers out for collection. The contractor's
notice to the customer shall be in writing, attached to the container
or the front door of the residence or commercial business, and shall
indicate the nature of the violation and the correction required in
order that such refuse, rubbish, trash, yard waste, brush or recyclable
material may then be collected at the next regular collection date.
When the city is notified by a customer that refuse, rubbish, trash,
brush, yard waste or recyclable materials have not been removed from
his premises on the scheduled collection day and where no notice of
noncollection nor a change in collection schedule has been received
from contractor, the city shall investigate. If the investigation
discloses that the contractor has failed to collect refuse, rubbish,
trash, brush, yard waste or recyclable materials from the subject
premises without cause, the contractor shall collect such refuse,
rubbish, trash, brush, yard waste or recyclable materials within 12
hours after a collection order is issued by the city, at no additional
charge.
[Code 1984, ch. 6, § 5(F); Ord. No. 839-98, § III, 5-12-1998]
(a)
Contractor
shall make two collections each week for each residential customer
and each commercial customer not utilizing or requiring commercial
containers. Contractor shall not commence service to residential customers
or to commercial units located within 200 feet of a residential structure
prior to 7:00 a.m., or continue such service after 9:00 p.m. on the
same day. No collections will be made on Sundays or holidays unless
by prior special arrangement.
(c)
Holidays
falling on Saturday will be observed on the preceding Friday unless
Saturday is a scheduled collection day. For residential service only,
holidays falling on Sunday will be observed on the following Monday.
When a collection day is missed due to the holiday schedule, the contractor
will collect all refuse, rubbish, trash, brush, yard waste and recyclable
materials on the next scheduled service date. No adjustment or reduction
in monthly customer service charges will be made as a result of the
noncollection on holidays.
[Code 1984, ch. 6, § 5(H); Ord. No. 828-97, § III(A), 12-9-1997; Ord. No. 839-98, § IV, 5-12-1998]
Every owner, occupant, tenant or lessee using or occupying any
building, house or structure within any single-family, professional,
retail or light commercial zoning district in the city which is on
the city's water system and has a dedicated water meter shall be required
to utilize and pay for garbage service provided by the city or its
designee, except for multi-family residences in which the property
owner provides communal trash facilities. Occupants of such premises
may remove and transport their own solid waste, but shall receive
no credit on their accounts for doing so. Occupants in heavy commercial,
mixed use, industrial and planned development zoning districts may
share dumpster services, however each business that does not maintain
a dumpster shall be charged a monthly administrative fee equal to
the current charge for base residential service.
