City Code / Statutes

Refuse shall be collected from all residential premises within the City at least once each week. Premises wherein large accumulations of refuse occur may be classified separately with more frequent collection from such premises. The Council shall establish a schedule of collection and the person who owns or occupies residential premises within the City shall place all containers on the premises adjacent to the alley line of said premises upon the day scheduled for pickup. Where there is no alley entrance to premises, refuse containers shall be placed at the street curb or at the inside edge of the sidewalk where the sidewalk is adjacent to the curb, on the morning of the day scheduled for collection; and the empty containers shall be withdrawn from the front of the premises as soon after collection as possible on the same day. No refuse containers, refuse burners, or piles of refuse shall be placed in or upon the alley right-of-way.
