Per Article XIV-G, Screening Requirements, Walls, and Fences, refuse storage areas, not within a screened rear service area which are visible from a public right-of-way for all nonresidential, and multi-family uses shall be visually screened by a minimum six (6′) foot screening wall except the side used for garbage pickup service, which much provide a gate. No container shall exceed the height of the screening wall. Refuse containers over eight (8′) feet in height shall require a variance before the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

TRASH

• Trash collection is provided twice per week
• Place trash at your curb or alley no earlier than 12:01 am and no later than 7:00 am on your scheduled pick up days
• Place trash out neatly and separately from other items such as recycling bins, brush, and bulky items.
• Trash is collected in plastic garbage bags left at the curb or alley and all bags must be closed and kept secure to prevent scattering of contents. No trash cans or containers.
  Tip: To keep animals away and out of your trash bags spray your bags with a household ammonia/water mix solution. The smell will repel them from the trash.
