§ 6-3.13. Preparation of discards.

For the protection of the collector and efficient handling, all discards shall be placed in containers, roll-off drop boxes, or bins, unless otherwise provided for in this section. All discards shall be kept free of all liquids and further prepared in the following manner:

(a)

Discards shall be prepared for collection according to the guidelines established by the City. Any discards not prepared in accordance with this section need not be collected by any Collector.

(b)

Placement for collection by the City's discards collector shall constitute an abandonment by the owner of the material and ownership shall vest with the City's discards collector, subject to the right of the party placing the material for collection to reclaim lost property.

(c)

Until removed by collector, each person shall be responsible for the cleanup of any and all discards which that person has generated, dumped, spilled, or otherwise lost or littered, notwithstanding human or animal interference with bins or containers (whether or not standard containers were used), wind or other natural forces, and whether during storage, collection, removal, or transfer. The collector shall be responsible for any discards spilled during its storage, collection, removal, or transfer.
