Summary
In the City of Casa Grande, owners of new and existing commercial and industrial facilities must purchase and maintain their own refuse containers under standards approved by the public works director, who can order maintenance and bill the owner if a container is neglected. City-owned front-load and roll-on/roll-off containers are rented to contractors and non-residential users only for short-term or project work, not as a long-term substitute for buying a container.

On new and existing commercial and industrial facilities, the owner shall be responsible for the initial purchase and following maintenance of the containers, as approved by the public works director. The public works director may have the container maintained and pass any cost on to the owner of the property, if such users do not maintain the container(s) in accordance with the public works director's approved guidelines. ... ...

Non-residential customers who have a continuing need for a container will be required to purchase or lease a suitable container from a private enterprise.
Full Breakdown
Casa Grande Municipal Code Chapter 8.08 places the container burden on commercial and industrial property owners rather than the City. Under § 8.08.080.C, any new or existing commercial or industrial facility owner must purchase and maintain its own refuse container, subject to standards the public works director approves; if the owner fails to keep the container in line with those guidelines, the director can have it serviced and bill the owner for the cost. Non-residential rates for six and eight cubic yard front-load and roll-on/roll-off containers, whether loose or compacted, are set in the City Consolidated Fee Schedule under § 8.08.100.B, and non-residential brush truck service is billed separately by loose refuse volume.
Section 8.08.100.I limits City-owned front-load and roll-on/roll-off containers to short-term or project rentals for contractors and non-residential users; anyone with an ongoing need for a dumpster must lease or buy one from a private hauler instead of relying on the City's fleet. Lost or damaged containers trigger a replacement fee under § 8.08.100.J covering the actual replacement cost plus delivery, waived only for reasonable wear and tear, and loads hauled to the Landfill must be tarped or fully enclosed under § 8.08.100.K or the public works director assesses a failure-to-cover fee from the Consolidated Fee Schedule.
Violations & Fines
Placing or maintaining a commercial container outside these rules is enforced under §§ 8.08.200-8.08.220: the City can refuse collection or Landfill disposal for noncompliant users, and three refusals in any 180-day period can trigger suspension of Landfill privileges. A separate violation of Chapter 8.08 is a class two misdemeanor in Casa Grande Municipal Court, punishable by up to four months in jail or a $750 fine for an individual, or up to $10,000 for an enterprise.
