§ 7-150. Regulation of lease containers.

It is specifically understood and agreed that the contractor shall make lease containers available to the owner or occupant of any premises within the corporate limits of the city, excluding residential premises and commercial hand-load customers, for waste storage and collection of acceptable waste at the rates established and approved by the city, and subject to the following requirements:

(1)

All contractor-supplied containers shall be equipped with suitable covers to prevent blowing or scattering of waste while being transported for disposal of their contents.

(2)

All such containers shall be cleaned and maintained regularly by the contractor so as to be in good repair, of a good appearance, and free of such waste residues as may cause odor and provide a breeding place for flies and harborage for rodents.

(3)

All such containers shall be clearly marked with the contractor's name and telephone number in letters not less than two (2) inches in height.

(4)

The contractor shall reimburse the owner of any premises where such containers are placed for any damage caused by the contractor's employees to screening fences, buildings, gates, or other improvements on property served by the contractor so long as the commercial customer does not create a condition that makes damage unavoidable; provided however, that the contractor shall be responsible for damage on private properties to curbs, sidewalks, or paved surfaces caused by the weight of the contractor's vehicle.

(5)

Containers and enclosures for containers shall be located in a manner that allows for safe access and sufficient ingress and egress to such enclosure or container. The city is responsible for designating where containers will sit at commercial premises and must insure that such location allows such safe access and sufficient ingress and egress by the contractor.
