§ 6-2-6. Availability and extent of service.

(a)

Rollout carts shall be serviced once per week with the exception of the Central Business District (CBD), which shall be serviced four (4) times per week. This service includes garbage, recyclables, bulky item, and yard waste. No customer shall have more than two (2) rollout carts for garbage service. The city reserves the right to suspend, delay, or alter the time of collection of one (1) or all services temporarily should snow, ice, storms, flooding, extreme heat/cold or other conditions make it unsafe for the public or employees during collection operations.

(b)

As a courtesy, backdoor service is available for garbage and recycling on a once per week basis, provided that prior approval has been granted by the environmental service superintendent, upon verification of a valid medical reason by a medical doctor for those persons who are physically unable to place their rollout cart to the curb. The city also reserves the right to periodically verify the need to continue backdoor service to residents who have been approved to receive the service. The city reserves the right to continue or discontinue backdoor service. The director of public services or his designee shall have the authority to determine the proper location for rollout carts for disabled residents.

(c)

Single-family attached housing (townhomes) shall be serviced as subsection (a) above, provided the city shall be held harmless against any and all claims for pavement damage resulting from rollout cart service, and provided the drives are designed for proper movement of solid waste collection vehicles. Developers, at their option, may request bulk container service.

(d)

All locations, except for single-family dwellings, which generate more solid waste than can be serviced by two (2) rollout carts once weekly, shall be required to furnish a bulk container of the type approved by the director of public services, provided that such container can be installed and serviced. Solid waste collection service for this container shall be by private contractor.
