SOLID WASTE RATE SCHEDULE & SERVICE POLICIES
(1) Potential Damage to Property or Equipment: For properties that are very
difficult to reach or properties where a truck or property could be damaged
during collection, the City may require that the owner bring the waste,
recyclables or green waste to the street in lieu of charging an additional
surcharge. As an option, the City may use smaller, less efficient trucks subject
to payment of the non curbside collection surcharge.
(2) Open Areas: When collecting refuse, recyclables or green waste from private
property, the City shall not collect refuse within secured residential or
commercial yards, within buildings nor outside of parking lots for businesses or
apartments. All refuse will be collected from areas accessible from the street
without going through a door or gate except for exempt (Disabled, handicapped,
frail, or elderly) customers on the Citizens' Assistance Program.
(3) Lots Not Requiring an Off-street (Non Curbside) Collection Surcharge: Lots
that front on a public street or easement, where waste is collected adjacent to the
street or easement by an automated, side-load, collection vehicle.
Lots on private roads, where there are enough customers to justify sending an
automated, side-load, collection vehicle down the road to collect waste in front
of each lot or at a common collection point on the road where the collection
vehicle can safely turn around. For the purpose of this section, the City will treat
a private easement or road, serving four or more houses, as a public street, as
long as it is all weather-passable and does not put equipment or property at risk,
and the driver or vehicle does not have to leave the easement to collect waste.
Lots where wheeled waste containers are placed along a public alley and where
an automated, side-load, collection vehicle can safely pass without having to turn
around or back out.
Lots or spaces in a planned development or mobile home park, where there is
paved access and where an automated, side-load, collection vehicle can safHy
collect bags or wheeled waste containers in front of each residence or business.
(4) Lots Requiring an Off-street Collection Surcharge:
Lots where wheeled waste containers are not placed adjacent to a public street
or easement for collection and where a smaller collection vehicle must leave a
public right of way to collect wheeled waste containers at residences or
businesses.

SOLID W AS'fE RATE SCHEDULE & SERVICE POLICIES
Lots where smaller collection vehicles must be used to access private driveways
or properties to collect waste, and the driver must get out of the vehicle to load
the waste.
Lots on unimproved easements that are in such a state of disrepair that an
automated, side-load, collection vehicle cannot safely pass without damaging the
vehicle, trees, property, or the easement.
Lots where access by an automated, side-load, collection vehicle is prevented
due to:.
~ Excessive pot holes.
~ Steepness of grade.
~ Having to ford a stream.
~ Substandard bridge across a creek.
~ More than one-quarter mile or 1,000 feet from a public road or easement.
~ Narrowness of road.
~ Not being able to turn around and having to back up more than 100 feet.
(5) Lots Whose Off-street Collection Surcharge is Reduced by $2: Three or more
urban lots on easements, substandard roads or lanes, where the frontage of the
lots is 150 feet or less, and the City cannot use a normal-sized collection truck.
Lots where the City is providing only one of the three residential waste collection
services on a weekly schedule. Residential collection services include collection
of household waste, green waste and recyclables.
(6) Disabled. Handicapped. Elderly. or Frail Persons on the Citizens' Assistarlce
Program: Residential customers, who are disabled, handicapped, elderly, or too
frail to move a wheeled waste container to the street, may apply for an exception
from the non curbside collection surcharge and have the drivers move the
wheeled waste carts to the street and back. Applying for this special service
incorporates granting permission for a driver to go onto the property to move the
carts. The Municipal Utilities Manager shall develop forms and procedures for
these requests and to verify qualifications for exemptions.
D. Assignment of Container Types.
Containers shall be assigned, based on the volume of waste to be collected each week.
