Full Breakdown
GRC 7.25.400(1) makes collection service mandatory: every occupied residential, multifamily, and commercial property in Gresham must have solid waste, recyclables, and yard debris collection through a city-licensed hauler. For residential customers, GRC 7.25.305(2) sets the default frequency at weekly, unless the customer subscribes to monthly service instead; bulky wastes are handled separately from that regular schedule. Multifamily owners must subscribe on behalf of tenants or self-haul, and must provide at least weekly service (every 14 days for compactors).
Violations & Fines
Unless another fine applies, failing to maintain required collection service under GRC Article 7.25 can draw a penalty up to $500 under GRC 7.25.600; landlords who don't subscribe on tenants' behalf risk the same exposure.
