§ 8.16.160. Solid waste material collection station.

Refuse and/or recycling containers shall be placed in areas at the curbline where they will be readily accessible for collection. The areas and access thereto shall be kept free and clear of all obstacles, such as fences, doors, trellises, flowers, vines, and such that would obstruct a clear passageway for removal of containers. Refuse and recycling containers shall not be placed in any area where the containers will interfere with vehicular or pedestrian traffic on city streets or alleyways. All refuse and recycling stations on all premises within the city shall be maintained in the manner specified in Section 8.16.150 of this chapter. All premises, whether residential, commercial or manufacturing utilizing a bin or dumpster container as described in Section 8.16.140 shall be required to place the refuse and recycling collection station in the rear of the premises and the bin or dumpster container shall be placed in an approved enclosure so that such container is out of public view. The refuse and recycling collection services shall include the replacement of the bin container to the enclosed collection station at the premises and, at no time other than the actual pickup shall the bin container be placed in the public right-of-way. Special rates may be established by the city council for hardship cases where placing of refuse material at the curbline for residential collection is impractical.
