Every owner, agent, employee or person otherwise in charge of
any commercial, institutional or industrial premises within the city
referred to in this article as "commercial customer" shall have the
duties and obligations in this division.
[Code 1984, ch. 6, § 5(C)]
(a) Each
commercial customer shall provide for and use containers (permanent,
disposable or commercial) sufficient in number to hold the refuse,
rubbish and trash accumulating on the premises.
(b) Each
commercial customer shall cause all refuse, rubbish and trash accumulating
on such premises to be placed in permanent containers or, with the
approval of the city manager or his designee, in disposable containers
if, in the city manager's opinion, such disposable container will
not create a nuisance. Commercial customers shall place permanent
containers and disposable containers (if allowed) at the curbside
on the street bearing such commercial customer's address for collection
at the same time and in the same manner as provided in this article
for residential refuse collection. Provided, however, no more than
four containers of refuse, rubbish and trash shall be permitted per
commercial customer per pickup. Should any commercial customer generate
more than four containers of refuse, rubbish and trash per pickup,
such commercial customer will be required to utilize a commercial
container.
(c) As an alternative to the collection method provided in subsection
(b) of this section, and whenever any commercial customer generates more than four containers of refuse, rubbish and trash per pickup, commercial customers may dispose of refuse, rubbish and trash by means of commercial container furnished by the contractor. Additionally, multifamily residential complexes may employ such commercial containers for garbage and trash collection in the same manner as commercial customers. Commercial containers may be used and placed at a location on the premises as arranged between the customer and the contractor, subject to the review of the location by the city at any time.
[Code 1984, ch. 6, § 5(C)(1)—(3)]
(a) Each
commercial customer shall keep all permanent containers, disposable
containers, and/or commercial containers in use securely closed in
such a manner as to prevent the scattering of the contents thereof
and to render such contents inaccessible to insects, rodents, and
other animals.
(b) Each
commercial customer shall drain all refuse, rubbish or trash mixed
with water or other liquids before placing such refuse, rubbish or
trash into a permanent container, disposable container or commercial
container, and further, no commercial customer shall place for collection,
or permit to be placed for collection, any hazardous waste.
[Code 1984, ch. 6, § 5(C)(4), (5)]
