§ 27-502. Frequency of disposal.  


Latest version.
  • All bulk garbage containers must be emptied at least twice each week in residential areas, except in times of emergency as designated by the Mayor, or where once-per-week collection for minimum users has been authorized; bulk garbage containers of commercial producers of waste shall be emptied at least twice each week, except where, due to the nature of the material, the POD may designate exemptions. The POD may require more frequent collections where necessary to keep any premises free of excess accumulation and thereby avoid the creation of a nuisance. Bulk recycling containers located at single-family residences shall generally be emptied once every two weeks.
