Full Breakdown
Under the Solid Waste Ordinance, the city's franchisee collects bulky wastes and major appliances only upon customer request, and charges a special-collection fee set by the city fee schedule. The franchisee will not enter any building or structure to remove items: the customer must convey bulky wastes and appliances to the curb. Yard waste, trees, and branches must be cut to four feet or less and bundled before being placed in a container or wheeled cart for regular collection; large branch piles are handled through the bulky-waste request process instead.
Violations & Fines
Setting bulky items or appliances at the curb without requesting the special collection risks nonpickup and a written notice of noncollection from the franchisee; repeat improper accumulation can be pursued as a public nuisance under the same chapter.
