A.
General container standards. Suitable containers of
a type approved by the Village 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. All garbage created, accumulated
or produced shall be deposited in containers of a type approved by
the Village Board and its collection contractor. Each container for
a residential unit shall be equipped with suitable handles and tight-fitting
covers, shall be watertight and shall have the capacity of not less
than 10 gallons and not more than 30 gallons. All garbage containers
shall be kept in a neat, clean and sanitary condition at all times.
All garbage containers for residential units shall be of metal, durable
plastic or other suitable, moisture-resistant materials, including
heavy-duty refuse disposal plastic bags, and shall not exceed thirty-gallon
capacity. Other containers for multifamily residential units (such
as dumpsters) may be used with the express approval of the Village
Board. Containers including contents shall not exceed in weight that
which one person can safely lift (60 pounds). Metal garbage cans shall
be of sufficient thickness to resist denting during normal handing
by collection crews. Plastic garbage bags must be closed with a tie
and 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. Garbage
and rubbish may be combined in the same container, except that open
containers shall not contain garbage or material that may blow about.
C.
Householder to provide containers. It shall be the
duty of every occupant, tenant or 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.
D.
Sawdust; ashes. Sawdust and cold, completely extinguished
ashes may be left for collection in disposable containers.
A.
Placement of residential solid waste for collection.
(1)
Residential solid waste shall be accessible to collection
crews. Residential solid waste in approved containers shall be placed
immediately behind the curb of the public street for collection or
containers shall be placed immediately adjacent to the alley if premises
abut on an alley. Yard and 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 snow
bank, 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 terrace
adjacent to the street curb 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.
(2)
No garbage containers or other containers for refuse
other than those of the Village shall be placed, kept, stored or located
within the right-of-way of a street or alley; provided, however, that
the Village Board 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.
B.
Restriction on time of placement.
(1)
Receptacles and containers for refuse and rubbish shall be placed in collection locations as designated in Subsection A above prior to 6:00 a.m. of the scheduled collection day, but not more than 24 hours prior to such time.

with the property owner.

factories, or any type of building other than a two-family dwelling
which produces more than the equivalent of four thirty-gallon cans
per week (approximately 1/2 cubic yard) may have the services of the

of rubbish they produce. Collections shall be made from commercial
establishments which produce no more than four thirty-gallon cans
per week not less than once a week during the term of this agreement.

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.

other than an authorized collector shall collect or interfere with
any garbage after it shall have been put into a garbage receptacle

refuse that may be lawfully left for collection and/or recycling.
This subsection shall apply to all persons, governmental operations,
and business, commercial, retail and industrial enterprises however
organized and of whatever type, if such refuse would otherwise be
deposited in a county landfill.

or putrescible animal or vegetable matter in or upon any lot or land
