No person shall place bulky waste adjacent to or in a street or public right-of-way for collection or removal purposes without first making arrangements with the appropriate solid waste franchisee for the collection or removal of such bulky waste. Bulky wastes shall not be placed any earlier than 7:00 p.m. on the day prior to the date that the solid waste franchisee has scheduled for the collection or removal of such bulky wastes.

Full Breakdown
Single-family residents arranging bulky-item pickup (furniture, appliances, and similar large items) through the city's franchised hauler cannot set items at the curb or right-of-way earlier than 7:00 p.m. the day before the scheduled collection date; earlier placement is a chapter violation. Multifamily properties of any size must establish a dedicated bulky-waste area at least 25 feet from flammable structures or landscaping, sized for a 30- or 40-cubic-yard bin serviced at least monthly, or weekly if the property lacks room for a dedicated area, as confirmed by the city or hauler.
Violations & Fines
Placing bulky waste at the curb before 7 p.m. the day before scheduled pickup violates the chapter and is enforceable under sections 62-80 through 62-83; multifamily properties that fail to secure bin service face the same citation and penalty provisions.
