Weekly Collection Tips
Maximize the diversion of your organic waste by doing the following:
- Store your carts out of direct sunlight.
- When dumping food waste in your green cart, cover it with some yard waste. This will help keep flies and other pests out of the food.
- Wait to do big fridge clean-outs until the night before collection so that material is not sitting outside in your cart for a long time.
- If you have the space, keep your food waste pail in the refrigerator until organics cart service day.
- If you have to discard food waste in your garbage cart on non-organic cart collection weeks, we understand.
§ 6-3.11 Frequency of Solid Food Waste Collection
(A) All trash, organics, and recyclable materials shall be collected not less frequently than once every seven days with the following exceptions:
(1) More frequent collections shall be made at those premises where it is determined by the City Manager, or his or her designee, that one collection each week is insufficient to maintain the premises in a clean and sanitary condition.
(2) Single family residential services shall be allowed to have bi-weekly collection of materials as determined by the franchise agreement.
(B) The rates to be charged by the contractor for services shall not exceed the maximum rates authorized by the City Council in the agreement or by subsequent modifications thereto.
