Article V. COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF CERTAIN WASTE |
§ 41-31. Structural waste.
(a)
All structural waste, solid waste, rubble, debris or discarded materials resulting from the construction, alteration, repairing, erecting, moving or demolition of buildings or other structures shall be collected, loaded and removed by the contractor or builder during the progress of the work, so as to leave the area of the construction or demolition in a clean, sanitary and safe condition. On the failure of the contractor or builder to carry out his obligation, it shall be the responsibility of the property owner to do so or to have a private collector or contractor to do it for him.
(b)
Structural and other solid waste from construction, alteration, repairing, erection or demolition carried out by the owner or occupant of a property, which does not exceed the equivalent volume of one automated collection container full of solid waste per collection, may be collected by city forces at no charge. Amounts exceeding the volume of one ninety-gallon automated container shall be collected by city forces or a private collector under contract with the city to dispose of bulk waste with the contractual cost being billed to the owner or tenant. Such collections shall not exceed twelve (12) collections per year. Such materials shall be arranged, packaged, bundled or placed in such a manner to facilitate efficient collection. Loose materials will not be collected and constitute a violation of this section. Materials outside the containers must be called in as bulk waste.
