Full Breakdown
Section 9-02-010 of the Prescott Valley Town Code splits large and heavy items into what the Town collects and what the property owner must handle. Under subsection D, the Town collects discarded appliances from dwelling premises, but only appliances that two (2) persons can readily lift into a truck. That lift test is the size standard the section prints.
Subsection E puts construction debris on the builder. Owners, contractors and builders must, on completion of a structure, gather up and haul away at their sole cost all refuse from the building, including lumber scraps, shingles, plaster, brick, stone, concrete and other building material, and leave the lot and nearby premises in a sightly condition. Residential customers can put small amounts of building material in a container from time to time, but the container must hold no concrete, masonry or soil. Subsection H assigns waste soil, concrete, masonry blocks, sod and rocks to the owner, tenant or occupant of the premises.
Dumping rules back this up. Section 9-04-030 bars anyone from placing appliances, vehicles, building material, soil, concrete, brush or other waste on property they do not own, lease or control, public places included, unless the property is zoned and permitted for disposal of such items. Section 9-03-030 requires hauled trash to be securely covered, and the driver must remove and reload any accidental spillage. Under Section 9-04-010(C), appliances, vehicles, building material, soil and concrete left on property can be a nuisance, which starts the notice process in Section 9-04-040: written notice at least thirty (30) days before the compliance date, with an abatement cost estimate and a right to appeal.
Violations & Fines
Violations of Article 9-04 are a class 1 misdemeanor or a civil offense under Article 1-08 (Section 9-04-035), and Section 1-08-010 caps the civil sanction at $2,500 with each day a separate offense. If the owner ignores a notice to comply, the Town can remove or abate the violation under Section 9-04-070, and the Town Manager prepares a verified statement of the actual cost, including legal costs, under Section 9-04-080.
