  • Only city-owned roll carts shall be used for the collection of household and small commercial business waste. Only garbage and trash placed in the roll cart will be collected. Garbage or trash deposited into unauthorized containers and cans, or bagged garbage (not yard waste) separate from the roll cart will not be collected, unless a properly authorized exemption has been granted. Only bags containing yard waste will be collected. The director of the department of sanitation may refuse to collect garbage or trash whenever such refuse is not contained in a city-owned roll cart or the residence or business has not been granted a properly authorized exemption. Any other trash or garbage cart shall be collected as trash after notice has been given to the occupant or agent that such cart is not authorized and is unfit for use.
