Full Breakdown

Section 401.03 makes service mandatory. Every single residential dwelling, multiple residential dwelling, commercial establishment and any other establishment generating solid waste must make arrangements for collection and disposal with a hauler licensed to do business in the city. The only relief is an exception the city manager can approve for environmentally sound alternatives. Roseville does not operate a municipal garbage crew under this chapter; the property owner or manager contracts with a licensed hauler.

Section 401.04 sets the schedule structure. The city manager divides the city into zones for solid waste collection from residential dwellings, and solid waste from the dwellings within a zone is collected on the same day. Section 401.02 defines a zone as a residential area in which garbage, other refuse, special waste and yard waste is collected on the same day, with the boundaries and day of collection established by the city manager. The ordinance itself does not list which streets fall in which zone or which weekday applies, so residents confirm their day with the city or their hauler.

Section 401.05 governs the clock. Licensees can collect solid waste during the times provided in section 404.03(c), which prohibits collecting or removing garbage or refuse in any residential district except between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on any weekday or between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on any weekend or legal holiday. Residents have a matching duty under section 401.07(a): containers go to the curb only before 7:00 a.m. on pickup day and cannot stay there longer than 24 consecutive hours. Holiday adjustments are not printed in Chapter 401.

Violations & Fines

Chapter 401 does not print its own penalty. Section 102.01(a) makes a Code violation with no other penalty a misdemeanor, with a fine not to exceed $1,000.00, imprisonment not to exceed 90 days, or both, and costs of prosecution can be added. Section 102.01(c) offers an administrative offense route as an alternative to criminal charges.
