in effect

8.20.120 - Receptacles. A. Every person owning or managing any premises shall provide one or more containers sufficient for the depositing of all solid waste from the premises. A solid waste exclusive franchisee may rent solid waste containers to its customers pursuant to the rates specified in this Chapter, but the responsibility for placement and maintenance of such rented containers remains with the person owning or managing the premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an exclusive franchisee provides once-a-week solid waste collection, the exclusive franchisee shall provide to its residential solid waste collection customers, upon request and at no additional cost to such customers, containers for the storage and collection of solid waste. B. If an exclusive franchisee provides curbside residential recyclables collection, the exclusive franchisee shall provide to its curbside residential recyclables collection customers, upon request and at no additional cost to such customers, containers for the storage and collection of recyclables. C. On any single-family dwelling, duplexes, multifamily dwellings, or mobilehome residential premises, it is unlawful to place, keep, store or locate any solid waste or recyclables container within the right-of-way of a street, sidewalk or alley, driveway or within any area located between any portion of the front elevation of the dwelling unit and the front lot line as defined in the zoning regulations of the City; provided, however, that such containers may be placed within such area, except for traffic lanes, for the purpose of the collection of solid waste and recyclables no earlier than two hours prior to sunset on the day prior to the designated collection day, and that such containers must be removed from the right-of-way no later than 8:00 p.m. on the same collection day. D. Containers shall be stored within an enclosure if an enclosure was required in connection with development approval or is otherwise provided on the premises. The construction of container enclosures is encouraged, if such construction was not required in accordance with a development approval. To the extent reasonably possible, development plans and approvals concerning the construction of container enclosures shall be coordinated with the solid waste exclusive franchisee. E. An exclusive franchisee shall not be required to pick up solid waste or recyclables from any location that the exclusive franchisee, subject to the City's approval, determines is not safe to access with its disposal vehicles due to space limitations restricting vehicle access or maneuverability, including maneuvers requiring the unsafe backing up of vehicles. F. Each and every non-residential solid waste or recyclables container, whether canister type or dumpster, must be marked with a legible identification system that identifies the owner of the container.
