Summary
Campbell County guarantees at least one solid waste pickup a week: § 50.028 requires that all solid waste collections, other than bulky rubbish, be collected at least once weekly, and authorizes collectors under county contract to enter private property to make that pickup.
Solid waste collectors, employed by the Court or solid waste collection agency operating under contract with the County, are hereby authorized to enter upon private property for the purpose of collecting solid waste therefrom as required by this chapter. Solid waste collectors shall not enter dwelling units or other residential buildings for the purpose of collecting residential solid waste. Commercial solid waste may be removed from within commercial establishments upon written request of the owner and approval by the Court by persons under contract with the Court. All solid waste collections, other than bulky rubbish, shall be collected at least one time per week.

Full Breakdown
028 gives solid waste collectors employed by the Fiscal Court, or a solid waste collection agency under contract with the county, authority to enter private property to collect solid waste as the chapter requires, but bars them from entering dwelling units or other residential buildings to do it. Commercial solid waste can only be removed from inside a commercial establishment on the owner's written request and the Court's approval, through a person under contract with the Court. ' That weekly floor sits inside the county's broader collection framework.
025 leaves the decision to provide collection at all to the Fiscal Court's discretion, letting the county run it directly or contract it out, county-wide or by area, and letting it offer commercial service only when an establishment applies. 026 then makes actually subscribing non-compulsory, while requiring the county to guarantee service to any resident who wants it. Together, the sections describe a contracted, discretionary system built around one mandatory floor: whatever collection exists has to hit residential and commercial customers at least weekly, bulky rubbish aside.
Violations & Fines
Violating the weekly-collection and entry-authority rules in § 50.028 carries a $25 fine under § 50.999(A)'s range for §§ 50.025 through 50.029, with each day of a missed or noncompliant collection schedule treated as a separate offense enforced through Fiscal Court violation letters.
