§ 23-21. Additional garbage cart rules.

Use of Garbage Carts and Set-Out Procedures are as follows:

(a)

All Customers in Lake County shall place all of their Garbage and Rubbish in their Garbage Cart in order to receive Residential Collection Service. Customers shall not put Yard Trash in their Garbage Cart and are strongly encouraged to refrain from putting Recycling in their Garbage Cart.

(b)

Customers shall place their Garbage Cart at the Curbside, unless an alternative location is agreed upon by the Customer and the Director, on the Scheduled Collection Day prior to six o'clock (6:00) a.m. The Customer shall place the Garbage Cart such that the handles and the wheels face away from the road.

(c)

All Garbage must be placed inside the Garbage Cart, and no Garbage placed outside the Garbage Cart will be picked up, except upon approval of the Director. At the Collection immediately following a Holiday, Customers may place unlimited amounts of Garbage and Rubbish at the curb, and the Garbage and Rubbish may be placed inside the Garbage Cart or in any other container or Plastic Bag, as long as the Customer adheres to weight and capacity limitations stated herein for Garbage Carts and other disposal containers.

(d)

A Customer may purchase a second Garbage Cart so long as the Customer pays the accompanying fee and delivery fee for the second cart, and an annual fee for additional disposal. If a Customer's home is located a significant distance from the Curbside, the Director may authorize two (2) thirty five (35)-gallon Garbage Carts instead of one (1) sixty four (64) or ninety six (96)-gallon Garbage Cart, at no additional cost to the Customer.

(e)

A Customer shall not place their Garbage and Rubbish in another Person's Garbage Cart or disposal container, or Set Out Garbage and Rubbish for Collection on property not owned or occupied by the Customer.

(f)

A Customer shall only Set Out for Collection the Garbage and Rubbish that is generated at the Customer's dwelling.

(g)

Garbage Carts shall not be loaded with more than one hundred fifty (150) pounds or the cart's rated capacity, as shown on the lid of the cart, whichever is less. Other disposal containers shall not be loaded with more than fifty (50) pounds of material.

(h)

Customers are responsible for removing their Garbage Carts from the right-of-way, replacing them on their property and properly securing them by ten o'clock (10:00) p.m. on the day of Collection Service.

(i)

Customers shall have the option of using a County—approved, bear-resistant Garbage Cart, if available. Non bear-resistant Garbage Carts containing household garbage shall be secured from bear intrusion until the Cart is permitted to be placed Curbside for Collection.
