17-103 : Single-family residential housing facilities, containers, and collection procedures.
- Containers--ownership: types.
- Ownership. All owners of single-family residences within the City of Maryville are to pay for an initial garbage container provided by the city. The container will be dedicated to that specific address.
- Types. Owners of single-family residences will be responsible for providing and/or replacing lost containers (maximum of four (4)). The type of container/containers provided and its/their location for collection will be determined by the EPW director, and his/her decision, shall be based primarily on operational cost effectiveness for the city. It shall be the responsibility of the residential housing facility owner to control the use of city-owned containers assigned for the use of the occupants and to manage allotted capacity. A Class I container shall be authorized for each house, apartment, mobile home or other living unit of a residential housing facility. Owners of residential housing facilities containing more than one (1) unit may be required to supply Class II, or Class III, or Class IV containers, and adjacent residential housing facilities may be required to jointly use a Class II, or Class III, or Class IV container, whichever is more cost effective for the city.
- Collection procedures; general regulations.
- Residential garbage intended for collection by the city shall be placed in a Class I container. Frequency of collection for residential housing facilities is one (1) time per week. If more capacity is needed above which the city assigns, the owner shall provide additional approved containers at his expense, make other disposal arrangements, or convert to Class II, or Class III, or Class IV containers. The customer may pay a fee for extra containers. Extra containers may not be moved outside of city, but may be moved to a new residence inside city.
- A Class I container must be paid for by the builder, developer, contractor, or purchaser at the time that building permits are issued.
- On the scheduled day of collection, all roll out containers must be placed at the edge of the street, curb or other designated location approved for pick up. Containers shall be placed in such a location and manner as to be readily accessible with city collection equipment. Containers must not be placed in a location for pick up so as to interfere with overhead power lines, fire hydrants, utility poles, mailboxes, tree branches, parked cars, vehicular traffic, or in any other way that would constitute a public hazard or nuisance.
- Containers shall be placed for collection no earlier than 5:00 P.M. on the day before collection, and no later than 6:00 A.M. on the day of collection. Roll out containers are not permitted to remain at the curbside collection point later than 7:00 P.M. on the day of collection.
- All roll out containers shall remain on the property of the city, and shall remain at the property address where delivered, regardless of fees paid.
- All containers serviced by the city collection equipment which are damaged, destroyed, or stolen through neglect, improper use or abuse by the occupant/property owner shall be replaced or repaired at the expense of the occupant/property owner, whichever, in the opinion of the city, is most cost effective.
- Responsibility to keep the container clean is the property owner's.
- Leaving containers at the curbside except during the period specified for collection, or not otherwise secured, constitutes neglect by the occupant/property owner.
- Containers which are damaged or destroyed by the city collection equipment in the course of routine services, or through normal wear and tear which is through no fault of the user, shall be repaired or replaced at no charge to the user.
- Bulk rubbish and construction waste, as defined in § 17-101(4) and (5), are hereby prohibited from being placed in the Class I roll out containers.
- All garbage must be placed in plastic bags suitable for garbage. Bags must be of adequate quality. (1999 Code, § 17-103)
