§ 19-12. Vacant residential dwelling units.

(a)

Although residential solid waste collections are not generally provided to vacant residential dwelling units by the city, one (1) collection service consisting of no more than one (1) residential container and one (1) six (6) cubic yard truckload will be provided to vacated residential dwelling units up to sixty (60) days following the departure of the occupant and upon request of the property owner. If the request for collection is made after the sixty-day grace period, a charge of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) will apply, provided that the residential solid waste fee account was current at the time of the request and the residential solid waste meets all other criteria for collection. Additional collections may be provided to the property owner upon request and payment of the collection fees for additional collections provided for in Article IV of this chapter. Solid waste resulting from demolition, and renovation and repair work, shall not be eligible for collection.

(b)

Except as provided in this section or in section 19-31, it shall be unlawful for any person to place solid waste or recyclable materials generated from a vacant residential dwelling unit on the city's rights-of-way for any reason. It will be the responsibility of the property owner or property manager of such property to abate and bear the expense of disposal of any debris resulting from tenant departure and any illegal dumping.
