Full Breakdown
Eagle Mountain treats bulky waste, items too large or unsuitable for standard storage containers, separately from the weekly container pickup. 290 requires anyone storing bulky waste temporarily to do so in a way that doesn't create a health hazard, nuisance, fire hazard, rodent harborage, or litter, and specifically bars leaving an unattended or discarded ice box, refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer, or similar appliance outside without first removing or sealing any door or latch, a rule aimed squarely at preventing a hazard to children. 450 lets the city designate the time and place of collection, and a resident cannot place bulky waste at the curbside or roadside any earlier than one day before the scheduled collection date.
Bundles of small limbs, twigs, and shrubs too large for a regular container must be securely tied before being set out. The section then draws a hard line on what bulky-waste pickup will not take: it is unlawful to place construction and demolition waste, commercial waste, car bodies, tires, used oil, batteries, hazardous materials, rocks, brick, broken concrete, or dirt at the curbside or roadside for collection. 190. 630 if it isn't corrected.
Violations & Fines
Setting bulky waste at the curb more than one day before the scheduled collection date, leaving an unattended appliance outside without removing or sealing its doors, or placing banned material such as construction debris, tires, batteries, or hazardous waste at the curbside violates EMMC 8.05.290 and 8.05.450. The city issues written notice under EMMC 8.05.560, and an uncorrected violation is a Class B misdemeanor under EMMC 8.05.630, with fines set by the consolidated fee schedule.
