collections which are in addition to the regularly scheduled <br />is <br />collections. <br />Section 26-41 Additional Regulations <br />ARTICLE IV. CURBSIDE RECYCLING <br />Section 26-45. Purpose. <br />This Council finds that reduction of the solid waste stream <br />through recycling efforts is one effective means of addressing the <br />growing problem and related escalating costs of solid waste <br />disposal. Recycling should also aid in conservation of our nation's <br />material resources. For these reasons, the Council finds that the <br />public interest will be better served if the following provisions <br />are enacted to enable the City's curbside recycling program to <br />operate as efficiently as is practicable. <br />Section 26-46. Definitions. <br />Customers - are those persons who wish to participate in the <br />. city's curbside recycling program and who either reside or operate <br />businesses within the city and the properties on which they reside <br />or operate a business meet the following two criteria: (1) such <br />properties receive once a week curbside refuse collection service <br />from the City, and (2) such properties on the average generate <br />refuse each week which would fill less than twelve (12) thirty-two <br />gallon containers. Excluded from this definition under this article <br />are those persons who own or operate "commercial properties" as <br />defined in Article III of this chapter - meaning properties which <br />use dumpsters. <br />• <br />Recyclable Materials - are for purposes of this curbside <br />program only the following materials: <br />1. All glass containers <br />2. Aluminum beer and soft drink cans <br />3. Newspapers <br />4. Plastic soft drink bottles, milk, and water jugs <br />5. Steel (tin) cans used for fruits, vegetables, soups, pet <br />foods, and other food items. <br />Recycling Containers - are reusable 18 gallon plastic <br />containers approved and provided initially by the City or its agent <br />for use by residential curbside customers for the collection of <br />recyclable material. <br />9 <br />
