Sec. 27-20. Manual solid waste collection.
A. The City may, at the Director’s discretion, utilize a manual solid waste collection system for residential collection in areas where automated collection vehicles cannot safely or efficiently operate.
B. All containers for manual collection must be maintained by the responsible party in a sanitary condition and must be thoroughly cleaned as needed.
1. Containers may not be less than ten nor more than 32 gallons capacity each. They will be constructed of galvanized steel, heavy-duty plastic, or equivalent material with a tight fitting lid or cover and with handles strong enough for lifting and emptying.
2. Containers may not be affixed to any attachment such as carts, fences, poles, stands, or similar objects. Containers must be removed from underground or enclosed receptacles and placed out for collection.
C. Wet strength plastic bags may be used in lieu of containers. Bags must have a capacity of not less than ten gallons nor more than 32 gallons and be sufficiently strong and free from tears or leakage. Bags must be securely tied and not weigh more than 30 pounds when placed out for collection.
D. The Director will determine whether alley or street collection service will be provided and will designate the collection location. (Ord. No. G-4623, § 1, 2004; Ord. No. G-5756, 2012; Ord. No. G-5920, 2014)
