§ 5-1-42. Collection by private collectors.

(a)

Points of collection for approved waste containers and plastic liners for premises not served by city. The point of collection shall be as agreed upon between the owner and a private collector duly licensed pursuant to article E of this chapter; provided, that such point shall not be on a public right-of-way and shall not hinder or interfere with parking, traffic or pedestrians.

(b)

Points of collection for approved bulk waste containers. The point of collection shall be at a place that has been approved by the director. The director shall only approve places that affect or offend the occupants, the general public and nearby residents as little as reasonably possible under the circumstances. The director may require surfacing of the point of collection as a prerequisite for approval. It shall be the duty of the owner or operator of an establishment using an approved bulk waste container to secure the approval of the director for the point of collection.

(c)

Time of collection. Solid waste shall be collected from all premises not serviced by the city at least once each week. No collections may be made between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. (6:00 a.m. from May 1, through September 30) if the collection area is less than 500 feet from a residential area.

(d)

Persons other than licensed collectors not to remove solid waste from containers. It shall be unlawful for any person other than a private collector duly licensed pursuant to article E of this chapter, when collection is made by a private collector, to remove solid waste, ashes, recyclable material, special collection items or yard debris from any point of collection; except that nothing shall prohibit any person from removing his own solid waste, recyclable material, ashes, yard debris or special collection items.
