§ 18-36. Storage and collection

(a) Sanitary storage of solid waste by owner or occupant. The owner and/or occupant of any premises shall be responsible for proper and sanitary storage of all solid waste accumulated at the premises until collected by the collecting and transporting service. Waste must be stored out of view from roadway but is allowed to be stored on side of residence.

(b) Commercial waste. On the scheduled day of collection, commercial solid waste shall be properly prepared and placed at the curbline. No collection will be made on private property. If waste stored on private property is not disposed of properly, the village will see that proper disposal is made and charge the property owner the actual cost of said disposal.

(c) Residential waste. Residential waste shall be properly prepared and placed at the curbline. Pickups shall not be made in the alley adjoining residential property. No collection shall be made on private property.

(d) Recyclable waste.

(1) Storage. Recyclable materials shall be stored in a manner which protects them from wind, rain, and other inclement weather conditions. Recyclable wastes shall be properly prepared and placed for collection at the curbline three feet away from solid waste containers and recyclable carts and any structure prohibiting automated pickup. Recyclable waste collection shall be made on the same day as regular solid waste collection.

(2) Pickups. Pickups shall not be made on residential private property, or in the alley adjoining residential property. No collection shall be made on nonresidential property.

(e) Pickups. Pickups shall not be made at the rear of the residence or back door unless approved by the village street operations supervisor and confirmed that a hardship exists due to physical disability.

(f) Pickup times. Any solid waste, when placed out for collection, shall be out by 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled day of collection, but shall not be placed out more than 12 hours before collection day and shall be removed not more than 12 hours after collection day. Failure to comply may result in the issuance of a citation.

(g) Large items. Items too large or otherwise unsuitable for storage containers shall be stored in a nuisance-free manner consistent with regulations established by the operations superintendent.

(h) Village property. All solid waste placed out for collection becomes village property upon being collected.

(i) Storing of containers. Garbage and recycling containers shall not be stored during the time period between collection days, in the front yard, nor in front of any building face that fronts a roadway.

(j) Prior approval needed for any variance. There shall be no variance from this section without the prior approval of the operations superintendent therefor.

(k) Enclosures. No owner or occupant of any building shall place or store any solid waste in front or alongside any building or any corner lot along the side of any building facing the abutting street except with the approval by the site plan review committee or for the purpose of lawful collection in compliance with this article. On or before June 30, 2005, all collectible solid wastes from all properties, excluding one-family, two-family and three-family dwellings, shall be stored in an enclosed structure or building. All enclosures or structures shall be constructed with a concrete or asphalt floor/base, and shall be gated, four-sided and constructed of opaque material sufficient to ensure the waste and container is impervious to view from the exterior of the four sides and approved by the site plan review committee (SPRC). The wall of the structure shall be of a height equal to one foot taller than the solid waste container, but in no event exceed eight feet in height, and shall be maintained in a neat and orderly manner.
