§ 7-102. Recycling containers generally.

(a)

Requirements. Dwelling units shall use only city provided or approved containers for all recycling removal by the city. The city shall provide one (1) ninety-six-gallon (approximate) rollout container where the automated system is in use for the collection of recyclables. Should this not be sufficient storage between collections, the resident may acquire from the city additional automated containers at additional fees not to exceed two (2) containers.

(b)

Identification. Where recycling containers have been provided, the collection containers shall be numbered by the public works department so as to indicate the dwelling unit using the particular container. When the containers are so identified, such container may be used only by the unit resident whose dwelling unit is shown thereon.

(c)

Ownership of rollout containers. The city shall retain ownership of recycling containers which are initially provided for recycling collection service at no additional cost to the user. Such container shall not be removed from the original assigned dwelling unit. Containers which require replacement as a result of user abuse and/or negligence may result in the user being charged a replacement fee as set forth in the city fee schedule.

(d)

Lost, stolen or damaged containers. Any recycling container provided by the city which becomes lost or stolen through no fault of the user, or which is damaged through no fault of the user, shall be replaced by the city at no cost to the user. Any rollout container damaged by the negligence of the user shall be replaced at the cost of the user.
