[OldNorth] Trash Cans continued

[Valerie Vann]

It's illegal to keep them "out" in the sense of out where they're
picked up next to the street, formerly on the planting strip, now
in the gutter. But people in ON have been keeping them in view of the
street for years, particularly at multi-"family" rental units,
where they are often kept in the front yard, and nothing has ever
been done about it. It just seems now to be escalating due to the
size of cans.

32.01.050 Placement of waste containers.  
    (a)   
Individually Serviced Residences.
Containers of garbage waste and household waste and from individually serviced
residences that are to be collected curbside shall be placed on the occupant's
property immediately adjacent to the curb, or curbside immediately adjacent to
occupants property, but in no event on the sidewalk. Such placement shall
occur no earlier than five p.m. on the day prior to the scheduled collection
day, nor later than six a.m. on collection day. Emptied containers shall be
removed from the curb by seven a.m. on the day following collection.
Containers that are to be collected from other than curbside location shall be
placed in an accessible location no more than seventy-five feet from the
street.

At a recent Council meeting (consent calendar) the garbage portion of
the code was revised; the above section as follows:

32.01.050 Placement of waste containers.
(a) Individually Serviced Residences. Containers of garbage waste and
household
waste in ninety to one hundred gallon carts from individually serviced
residences shall be placed in the street gutter immediately adjacent to the
curb, immediately adjacent to occupants property, but in no event on the
sidewalk. Carts shall have a minimum distance of 3 feet between them and any
other object. Such placement shall occur no earlier than five p.m. on the day
prior to the scheduled collection day, nor later than six a.m. on collection
day. Emptied containers shall be removed from the curb by seven a.m. on the
day following collection. Containers that are to be collected from other than
curbside location shall be placed in an accessible location no more than
seventy-five feet from the street.

The revision has apparently not made it to web page yet, but it
doesn't address the problem of customary storage/placement of the containers,
just
their placement on collection day and removal from the collection location.
