Davenport carts go between the curb and sidewalk, or within two feet of the alley edge, never on the sidewalk or street. Set them out no earlier than 7 PM the night before and remove them by midnight on collection day.
Municipal Code 8.08.080 sets one collection point per home: for street routes, place carts between the curb line and sidewalk (or within two feet of the curb where no sidewalk exists); for alley routes, within two feet of the traveled alley. Carts may not sit on any public sidewalk or street. Under 8.08.090, containers cannot be placed out before 7 PM the day before collection or after 7 AM the collection day, must be removed by midnight, and cannot stay in a front yard between collection days. Lids must stay closed.
Improperly placed or overfilled carts may be skipped. Leaving carts out or in the front yard between pickups is a municipal infraction: $100 first, $200 second, $500 after (Sec. 8.08.140).
