Full Breakdown
Section 78-42(a) requires residential customers, other than large multifamily buildings, to place mobile containers curbside for collection unless the city authorizes an alternate location; backdoor collection is available for customers with disabilities or on request, though a non-disability backdoor request can carry a special service charge. Multifamily buildings of ten or more units and commercial customers place containers for back door collection under § 78-42(b) unless the city approves another location based on site constraints, traffic impact, or container type. When containers are not out for pickup, § 78-42(c) prohibits storing them in a front or side yard abutting a public right-of-way, between the building line and the right-of-way, or on the right-of-way itself, unless the city has authorized it in writing.
on collection day, positioned at curbside next to a driveway no more than five feet from the curb line or ten feet from the edge of pavement or a traveled way. If a container is placed in violation, § 78-42(e) lets the city remove and relocate it to a suitable spot on the property and assess a service fee for each container moved, collected the same way as other service fees under §§ 78-39 and 78-40, on top of any other penalty.
Violations & Fines
Containers left out early, kept past 10:00 p.m., or stored in a front or side yard facing the street can be relocated by the city under § 78-42(e), which adds a per-container service fee collected as a lien-eligible charge under §§ 78-39 and 78-40, in addition to the general Chapter 78 penalty under § 78-44.
