§ 50.10. Solid waste collection service by the contractor, commercial.
Latest version.
Commercial units have the option to determine whether they want to recycle, provided,
however, that those commercial units, which use curbside collection for recycling
must use the contractor. The contractor shall propose a collection schedule to be
approved by the city manager. The contractor shall provide collection service for
all solid waste, which is generated by commercial and industrial establishments no
less than two times per week and at a greater frequency if required to protect the
health or safety of the public. The contractor shall provide collection service for
those establishments, using containers emptied by mechanical means, from two days
to six days per week, and the frequency of service shall be as mutually agreed upon
by the customer and the contractor. If refuse is collected more than once per day,
the contractor may charge the customer for extra collection service. The owner/operator
of such establishment shall accumulate refuse in locations mutually agreed upon by
the owner/operator and the contractor. If mutual agreement is not reached, the city
manager, or his designated representative, shall designate the location. Commercial
and industrial establishments may use either solid waste containers as defined in
this chapter, or containers emptied by mechanical means. The contractor shall make
such collections with a minimum disturbance to business or commercial establishments.
The collection shall be made in a sanitary manner and any solid waste spilled by the
contractor's employees shall be picked up immediately by such employees.
