(a)

General. No person shall place or cause to be placed any container, bin, or roll-off drop box on any sidewalk, street, road, highway, or alley at any place or in any manner other than as provided in this chapter. In order to prevent problems of traffic, noise, wear and tear on the highway, or other problems having the potential to adversely affect health, safety, or the environment, which may develop in any specific area as a result of discards collection, the Director may regulate the routes, intervals, delivery points, and times for collection by all collectors operating within the City.

(b)

Time. No person shall place or cause to be placed any discards container, bin, or bundled discards on any sidewalk, road, street, or highway at any time other than on the day established for the collection of discards on the particular route or before 4:30 p.m. on the day immediately prior to such collection, or permit such container to remain thereon not later than 10:00 p.m. on the designated day of collection.

(c)

Storage. No person shall cause or permit containers or residential composting bins to be placed at any location whereby the containers or residential composting bins may be visible from private streets and public rights-of-way, unless located behind a side yard fence, gate, or wall except when placed out for collection as provided in Section 6-3.12(b).

(d)

Location. Any container placed for collection along a street shall be placed at the street. No container shall obstruct the use of the public right-of-way. Any such container, bin, or roll-off drop box placed for collection in any alley shall be placed as close to the property line as practicable. Every business owner shall provide an accessible location for bins and roll-off drop boxes and shall keep said area in good repair, clean, and free from discards, solid waste, compostables, recyclables, or recyclable commodities outside of the bins and roll-off drop boxes.
