§ 78-93. Location of garbage cans/containers.

(a)

Where an alley exists and is normally used for the collection of garbage, garbage cans or mobile containers shall be placed on the owner's property as near to such alley as practical. If no alley exists or is not practical by reason of the existence of physical obstacles to placing the garbage can or mobile container on the edge of the alley, such garbage can or mobile container shall be placed at a point to be designated by the director of public works.

(b)

If a property owner erects a fence, wall or hedge bordering on any alley, the property owner shall provide an offset in the fence, wall or hedge of not less than four feet by ten feet for the placement of garbage cans or mobile containers.

(c)

Multifamily/condos, even though under normal conditions will be contracting for and paying for the collection of their disposal of garbage/refuse and recyclables, are responsible for the fencing (privacy screen) around their garbage cans or mobile containers.
