A. On the designated day of collection, all occupants except those exempted in Section 12.34.040, shall place the City provided curbside cart in the gutter area or in a clearly accessible location at the curb when gutter placement is not possible. The cart must be placed so that it does not obstruct the right-of-way of traffic or the sidewalk. The cart may not be placed for collection on any stairway or in a garage, except as specified in Section 12.34.040. The occupant or their agent must remove the curbside cart from the public right-of-way within 24 hours of garbage collection.

B. In instances in which the City determines that curbside collection is impossible due to insufficient room in the gutter or at the curb (an area at least 2 feet by 3 feet square), absence of a parking strip adjacent to the curb, a slope not suitable for carts as determined by the City, or other conditions that compromise collection operations and safety, the City may authorize an exception to curbside participation and provide backyard/on-property service.
