Summary
Layton requires every single-family home and small multi-family building of ten units or fewer to have its garbage collected by the City or its contracted hauler under LMC 6.20.010. Service is billed on the regular City utility bill along with sewer, storm sewer, and water, and unpaid utility charges can lead to water shutoff.
The owners, agents, and occupants of all single family structures; and multi-family structures with no more than ten (10) independent units within each structure, shall have its garbage removed by the City or the City's contracted service provider. ... The fees for each of these utilities and services are included on the City's regular utility bill for any given property. Failure to pay any portion of the utility bill may result in termination of water service.
Full Breakdown
010(1)(a) makes City garbage service mandatory for single-family structures and multi-family buildings of ten or fewer independent units: their owners, agents, and occupants must have refuse removed by the City or the City's contracted service provider, not a private hauler of their own choosing. 010(1)(b). Every residence is issued one City-owned container per unit, with additional containers available for a fee set in the City's fee schedule; ownership of the container stays with the City or its provider even though it sits on the resident's property.
010(2) folds the collection charge into the City's regular combined utility bill alongside sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and culinary water charges, and failure to pay any part of that bill can result in the City terminating water service to the property. 010(3) closes the loop by barring anyone except a City-authorized contractor or a properly licensed private hauler from collecting or transporting solid waste on Layton's streets, avenues, alleys, or ways, so a resident cannot simply arrange for an unlicensed hauler to pick up garbage instead of using the City system.
Violations & Fines
Using an unlicensed or unauthorized hauler to collect garbage within Layton violates LMC 6.20.010(3), and unpaid solid-waste charges on the combined utility bill can lead the City to shut off water service to the property under 6.20.010(2) until the account is brought current.
