§ 729-7. Setting Out Containers.

It shall be the duty of every owner, tenant, agent, lessee, occupant and person in charge of any and every dwelling in the city to place all waste that is to be collected by the division of sanitation in properly closed containers that meet the requirements of Section 729-5. Such containers shall be placed not more than three feet from the curb or curbline in front of the building unless the owner, tenant, agent, lessee, occupant or person in charge of a dwelling is notified by the department of public services to place the containers in another location for collection. All containers must be set out for collection no earlier than 5:00 p.m. on the day before the scheduled day of collection, but no later than 6:00 a.m. on the day of collection. The waste containers shall in all cases be kept outside of any fence, wall, enclosure, dwelling or building on the day of collection.

Any city resident who is physically handicapped to the extent that such resident cannot set the week's accumulation of waste at the curb for collection can receive set-out service as provided in Section 729-11 by providing written documentation of his or her condition to the director of public services or his or her designee and following procedures established by the director for requesting set-out service. The director of public services or his or her designee will approve any request for set-out service that meets the requirements of this section.
