§ 49-45. - Placement of carts for residential refuse service.
(a) Disabled house-side service. Cart(s) shall be placed no further from the street than at or within four feet of the rear corner of the house from the street from which the house is serviced and in conformance with the provisions of Section 49-43. Yard waste collected by a person or entity maintaining property for a disabled person qualifying for house-side service must be bagged and placed in cart(s) in accordance with Section 49-25(c) or removed by the person or entity maintaining property. Any person who makes a fraudulent statement in an application for disabled service under this section is guilty of a Class "a" offense. An occupant is limited to one cart unless approved by the Superintendent. All other residential solid waste collection components must be in conformance with the provisions of Section 49-25.
(b) Curbside service. The various containers including trash cart(s) and recycling carts shall be placed at the curb line of the street from which the residence is serviced, unless the Superintendent designates a different location. The carts are not to be obstructed from the automated collection truck's ability to service the cart, including but not limited to the following: behind parked cars, behind hedges, or within four feet of either a mailbox or tree. The carts shall not be placed on the sidewalk. The Superintendent may direct a cart to be placed in the street against the curb line, if the move will assist in the stabilization of the cart when the terrain, wind, etc. hampers collection services, but the cart must not in any manner be placed where the carts will interfere with vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Carts should be placed at the curb no earlier than 7:00 p.m. or one hour before sunset, whichever is earlier, on the evening preceding the collection day and must be removed to a point at the side or rear of the structure not later than 8:00 p.m. on the day following collection.
(c) If there has been a special written and verified application to the Superintendent stating that all persons residing at the residence of the applicant are, by reason of age, infirmity, or other just causes, incapable of complying with the provisions of this Chapter dealing with the placement of cart(s), then the Superintendent, in his/her sound discretion, may waive the Chapter provisions dealing with their placement and allow the refuse to be removed from a location which is convenient for the applicant and reasonably convenient for the refuse collector.
(d) The Superintendent shall have the authority to determine the manner and time of service, days of service, and number of pickups, holidays and make up days per week that shall be made to all single-family, multifamily, commercial, and industrial units.
