Full Breakdown
Maple Grove City Code § 26-54(a) puts the city in charge of collection, giving it the power to set the time, method, and routes for recyclables and yard waste, and specifically authorizes the city to establish special times for large-item pickup outside the normal schedule. Under § 26-54(b), the dates and times for any such collection, including large-item days, get published or otherwise made available to residents. The code doesn't set a fixed calendar or size or weight limit for large items in this section; that detail is left to the schedule the city publishes.
Violations & Fines
There's no separate penalty spelled out for large-item pickup itself; putting bulky items out for collection outside the city's published pickup dates can be treated as an improper placement under the chapter's general container and disposal rules.
