Commercial and industrial service.
Oklahoma City Municipal Code § 49-30
in effect§ 49-30. - Commercial and industrial service.
(a) A maximum of three 90-gallon refuse carts may be picked up per business, commercial establishment, or institution per pickup day. Any business, commercial establishment or institution that has refuse in excess of 270 gallons per pickup or falls outside the capability or desire of the division, as determined by the Superintendent, shall contract with an approved, licensed, commercial hauler to have said hauler remove and dispose of the refuse in an approved, accepted manner. Removal of such solid waste shall be in a timely manner as directed by the Superintendent.
(b) Refuse containers at commercial and industrial locations shall be placed in a suitable location outside the building, as approved by the Superintendent provided that access is provided to refuse collectors; and provided further, that said containers shall be located no less than 12 feet from any structure located on adjoining property, unless otherwise approved by the Superintendent, due to conditions peculiar to the premises which would cause the literal application of the provisions of this subsection to create an unnecessary hardship.
(c) All containers other than those carts provided by the City shall be identified by the owner's name and owner's telephone number. Identification shall include lettering and numbers painted on the container at least three inches in height and of a proportionate width. Collection times of these containers shall coincide with established hours in those areas falling within 500 feet of residential areas as approved by the Superintendent.
