§ 21-21. Collection service generally.

(a)

No person, other than those under the direction of the public services director, shall haul away or remove any garbage or refuse set out for collection as provided in this article, except by written consent of the public services director.

(b)

Collection of garbage will be once weekly.

(c)

Recycling will be collected bi-weekly on the same day as garbage collection based on a schedule published annually by the public services director. Materials are to be placed in the recycling container provided by the City of Salisbury or its contractor. Listing of materials to be recycled can be obtained through the public services department.

(d)

In business and residential areas where ninety (90) plus gallon containers have been provided by the city, garbage will be collected in those containers only. The public services director may designate a central collection point for multiple residences. Where a designated collection point has been established, collection containers will be provided by the city at no charge and garbage will be collected in those containers only. Any material outside an approved container will be considered "bulky items" and be regulated by section 21-29.

(e)

Any person physically unable to meet the requirements of section 21-26 may be granted an exemption from curbside collection by the public services director. Exemptions must be verifiable and are subject to periodic review. Such persons will receive special collection service at a mutually determined site at the residence. Garbage must be bagged inside the approved container.
