The City Ordinance specifies that “at least once each week, City forces shall collect and transport residential solid waste for transfer, transport, and recycling or disposal and the City may charge a cost-recovery fee, as allowed by law, for all solid waste management services” (66.0127). The Ordinance further explains that “residential solid waste means solid waste, of the type and quantity normally generated by a residential property, that is placed at the designated collection point at the curb line of a City public street or City public alley in a City-approved curbside collection container on the designated collection day” and that “residential property means a single-family residential property or a multi-family residential property, with up to four residences on a single lot, that meets City requirements for collection by City forces.”
