§ 51.23. BULK TRASH.

(A)

Bulk trash shall be collected from residential areas within the City no more than once per week. Bulk trash shall be placed adjacent to the pavement or travel way of the street/alley. The bulk trash pickup day shall coincide with the first or second refuse collection day, which shall be a Monday/Thursday, Tuesday/Friday or Wednesday/Saturday of each week.

(B)

It shall be unlawful for any person to leave outside any building in a place accessible to children any appliance, refrigerator or container with any doors, lids or closures of any type in place. This prohibition shall not apply to any appliance, refrigerator or container at a commercial establishment which has been placed on or adjacent to the rear of the building and is crated, strapped or locked to an extent that it is impossible for a child to obtain access to any compartment thereof.

(C)

If bulk trash is placed adjacent to the pavement or travel way of the street/alley at time periods or at locations outside of those allowed by subsection 51.40(E), the City or its contractor may collect the bulk trash and a fee of eleven dollars fifty cents ($11.50) per cubic yard will be charged to the resident or business for the collection of the bulk trash if such collection is not performed on the regular scheduled collection day. The minimum charge shall be eleven dollars fifty cents ($11.50) and all charges shall be to the nearest whole cubic yard. Such fee will be placed on the resident or business's water bill. If the resident or business does not receive a water bill then a separate bill for this charge shall be sent to the property owner. The $11.50 charge shall be remitted to and retained by the City for all collections from residential properties. The eleven-dollar-fifty-cent-per-cubic-yard charge, associated with code enforcement activities, for collections from commercial properties shall be billed by the City.
