Summary
Every Eastvale property owner or occupant must either subscribe to the city's franchised solid waste hauler or hold a self-haul permit, and Municipal Code Section 16.05.130 requires solid waste to be disposed of at least once a week, so trash cannot be allowed to pile up between collections.
In order to protect the public health, safety, and well-being, and to prevent the spread of vectors, the person in charge of a premises in the city shall either: (a)Make arrangements with a solid waste franchisee for solid waste handling services, and keep such arrangement in good standing; or (b)Obtain a self-haul permit from the city and abide by the operational standards and all applicable provisions of this chapter. ... All solid waste accumulating upon a premises must be disposed of as frequently as required to avoid an accumulation of solid waste in violation of this chapter, but in no case shall disposal occur less frequently than one time per week, except that less than weekly disposal may be permitted during any period of time the premises is temporarily unoccupied and solid waste is not accumulating on the Premises due to out-of-town travel or other similar situations.

Full Breakdown
100 requires the person in charge of every premises in the city to either make arrangements with a solid waste franchisee for handling service and keep that arrangement current, or obtain a self-haul permit from the city and follow its operational standards; violating this section is a misdemeanor under the article's penalty provisions. 130 sets the minimum frequency: solid waste accumulating on a premises must be disposed of often enough to avoid a buildup in violation of the chapter, but never less than once a week, except when a property is temporarily unoccupied, such as during extended travel, and waste is not accumulating there.
220 lets the city's solid waste franchisee set the specific manner, day, and route for regular collection with each account holder under the terms of its city franchise agreement, and it authorizes on-call special collections for bulky waste, household hazardous waste, and debris boxes. 230 makes both the property owner and the account holder jointly and severally liable for unpaid collection fees; a single-family account more than 90 days delinquent gets a notice, and after 30 more days without payment the franchisee reports the delinquency to the city by May 1 each year so it can be placed on the property's tax roll.
Violations & Fines
A premises with no franchisee arrangement and no valid self-haul permit, or one whose franchisee service has been terminated for nonpayment, is declared a public nuisance under Section 16.05.650. Failing to maintain either mandatory arrangement, or letting solid waste accumulate less often than weekly under Section 16.05.130, is enforceable as an infraction or misdemeanor under Sections 16.05.720 and 16.05.730, and unpaid delinquent accounts can be placed as a special assessment on the owner's property tax bill.
