7-1-10. Time and place of pickup.

(1) Approved garbage containers shall be placed on the edge of the street next to the driveway on the opposite side of the driveway approach from any mailbox, but in no event within ten feet of a mailbox, and with the container's wheels as close to the curb or edge of the road as reasonably possible, with the hinge thereof to curbside and the lid opening facing toward the street. When snow or street construction prevents placing of the container against the curb, the container shall be placed not over two feet from the edge of the snow or construction and in a manner that will not obstruct traffic or unduly impede snow plowing. Where there is no curb or gutter, approved garbage containers shall be placed off the traveled portion of the street but close enough to the street that the container can be picked up without undue difficulty.

(2) Containers shall not be placed or permitted to block driveways or through traffic.

(3) Unless otherwise provided by regulation, garbage and refuse must not be set out upon the street for collection prior to the evening of the day before collection and must be set out prior to 7:00 a.m. on the day of collection.

(4) Empty containers shall be removed from the street as soon as practicable after being emptied, and in every case shall be removed from the street the same day they are emptied.

(5) Those physically unable to wheel containers to curbside may make arrangements with the county for assistance.

(6) It shall be unlawful to park a vehicle upon a street during the hours of garbage pickup in a manner that interferes with access to approved garbage containers by the solid waste disposal contractor. (Ord. 04-07; 2/24/04)
