Garbage collection equipment shall consist of trucks with leakproof and enclosed bodies,
with compactors and sanitizing materials in each truck, and covered in leakproof garbage
dumpsters. The location of each dumpster, recyclable material container, and any and
all other garbage facility(ies) shall be approved by the city manager, or his authorized
designee, and a permit will be issued for each. No dumpster, recyclable material container,
or any other garbage facility shall be placed or serviced until such permit is issued.
Notwithstanding the preceding, in the event any such facility is delivered by a contractor
without a permit, the city shall still receive payment for the account in computing
the franchise fee due under section 90-221. Contractors shall return dumpsters, recyclable material containers, and any other
garbage facilities to approved locations after servicing. Compactors shall not be
installed without a permit from the city's building department. Each garbage facility
and/or each recycling container must bear the name of the contractor and must be serviced
and sanitized at least twice weekly. Garbage facilities or recycling containers located
on public property, or without a city permit, shall be deemed abandoned and will be
removed by the city at the contractor's expense, pursuant to section 90-331 et seq. Service pickups by trucks are to be made from streets and driveways. Trucks
shall not be driven or parked on sidewalks at any time. Contractors may not park any
truck on any public or private property within the city when not being used to service
accounts. Collection hours for all solid waste or recyclable materials shall be between
the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. only. All permanent employees of contractors
shall carry identification cards, approved by the city manager or his designee, at
all time(s) while servicing accounts. In addition to the required solid waste and
recyclable materials collection pursuant to the provisions of this section 90-228, and other requirements of this chapter, contractors shall include the collection
of garbage, rubbish, trash, and recyclable materials, up to and within that immediate
area of the owner's private property line where a dumpster, compactor, recycling container,
or garbage facility may be located and, at a minimum, within a radius of ten feet
surrounding the location of said recycling container, or garbage facility, regardless
of whether such garbage, rubbish, trash, or recyclable materials may or may not be
included or secured in a recycling container, or other garbage facility. Such immediate
collection of garbage, rubbish, trash or recyclable materials shall be incorporated
by contractors as part of their regularly scheduled service pickups.
