It shall be the duty of every person (hereafter "customer") in possession or having the care or control of any premises in the city where refuse accumulates or exists, to cause all such refuse to be placed and kept in containers as specified in this code.
(a)
Containers in Automated Refuse Collection Areas. Customers whose premises are located in areas designated by the city to be served by an automated refuse collection program shall place their refuse in containers only in conformity with the following:
(1)
Materials resulting from commercial landscaping or building construction, demolition, alteration or repair such as, but not limited to, dirt and sod, rock, brick, concrete, plaster, roofing materials, lumber, construction metal, and large appliances must not be placed in automated refuse containers. For disposal of such materials, temporary use of bins and/or roll-off containers are available through the city's authorized contractor. Temporary use of bins and/or roll-off containers provided from other than the city's authorized contractor is prohibited and shall be impounded.
(2)
A set of three containers for residential refuse, co-mingled recycling and greenwaste recycling shall be provided by the city's franchise residential hauler free of charge for all single-family premises up to and including three units. Additional containers shall be provided if the city or contractor determines the necessity. Charges for the use of such additional containers shall be in an amount set by resolution of the city council.
(3)
All residents shall utilize the city's automated collection system except those permitted otherwise by the city or its franchise hauler. The permitted usage of manually-collected containers shall have a capacity not to exceed thirty-three gallons each and shall not exceed fifty pounds in weight per container when loaded, including the weight of the container.
(b)
Non-Automated Refuse Collection Areas. Premises on which commercial or industrial uses are located shall utilize city-licensee authorized refuse and recycling containers. The permitted usage of manually-collected containers shall have a capacity not to exceed thirty-three gallons each and shall not exceed fifty pounds in weight per container when loaded, including the weight of the container.
(c)
Restaurant Food Waste. Restaurant-generated food waste must be placed in closed plastic bags prior to depositing into any collection container. Cooking oil must be disposed of separately and not deposited into the sewer system.
(d)
Medical Waste. Containment, storage, and disposal of medical waste shall be in compliance with the Medical Waste Management Act (California Health and Safety Code).
