§ 19-11. Collection schedule; exception.

(a)

Collection of residential trash shall be provided to occupied residential dwelling units throughout the city on a one (1) time per week basis according to a schedule prepared by the director.

(b)

Collection of residential recyclable materials, bulk waste and residential vegetative waste shall be provided to occupied residential dwelling units on a schedule established by the director based on the needs of the city's residents. Although collection of large appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers and other large white goods will be made on bulk waste collection days, residents must contact the department prior to 4:00 p.m. on the last business day before such resident's bulk waste collection day to schedule the collection of such large appliances. The owner or property manager of multi-family locations which receive city serve shall schedule collections needed at the designated locations. In addition, the owner/management will ensure that the white goods for collection are separate from other items and in a location where they can be accessed for collection and not interfere with the normal collection operations of the bulk waste.

(c)

Upon request, the director may provide additional collection services to occupied residential dwelling units upon payment to the city of an additional fee as provided in Article IV of this chapter.

(d)

The director may make exceptions to collection schedules in times of exigent circumstances; however, missed collections will be collected as soon as possible. Notice of changes in collection schedules will be promptly provided to affected residents by any reasonable means considering the nature of the exigent circumstance. Should any "pilot" program be implemented, special procedures for the same may be published. All ordinances shall apply during any such pilot program.

(e)

Residential solid waste that is inaccessible to collection vehicles shall not be collected. Inaccessibility includes, but is not limited to the following: debris blocked by or in close proximity to cable boxes, mail boxes, fences, street signs, vehicles, and/or under low wires or overhead powerlines.
