Full Breakdown
Chapter 11's garbage and trash article gives the city council broad rulemaking power over the collection service: Sec. 11-16 states the service is governed by whatever ordinances, rules, and regulations the council promulgates, and makes violating those rules unlawful. The real teeth are in Division 2's billing rules. Sec. 11-26 lets the council set garbage and trash rates, and Sec. 11-27 folds those charges into the same monthly statement as water and sewer service, prepared by the city clerk on the first of each month.
The city will not accept a water and sewer payment unless the garbage and trash charge is paid too, which is what makes residential collection functionally mandatory rather than optional. A payment received after the tenth of the month triggers a ten percent penalty added to the total bill. Appendix B's fee schedule, Sec. 25 percent sales tax. A one-time bulk item pickup beyond normal service can be scheduled for an additional charge set by the service provider.
Violations & Fines
Sec. 11-16 makes it unlawful to violate any garbage and trash rule or regulation adopted by the city council. Because payment for garbage and trash service is a prerequisite to paying for water and sewer under Sec. 11-27, an unpaid account also triggers a ten percent late penalty on the total bill and can jeopardize continued utility service.
