4.8 Upon collection by the owner or the owner's contracted independent hauler, that person shall deliver the designated recyclables to a recyclable material processing center, an end market for sale or reuse, or to an intermediate collection center for later delivery to a processing center or end market. No recyclable materials placed by residents in the multiple-unit recyclables collection containers will be collected or disposed of as garbage. It is unlawful for any person to transport for disposal or to dispose of separated designated recyclables in a mixed municipal solid waste disposal facility. The contractor or hauler shall transport all designated recyclables in a covered vehicle so the recyclables do not drop or blow onto any public street or private or public property during transport. 4.9 It is unlawful for any person, other than the owner or the owner's independent hauler, to collect, remove, or dispose of designated recyclables after the materials have been placed or deposited for collection in the recycling containers. The owner, owner's employees, owner's independent hauler's employees, or City's recycling contractor's employees may not collect or"scavenge"through recycling in any manner. 5 Residential Garbage Container Standards and Storage The City of Mounds View understands the importance of a clean, litter-free and livable community and wishes to provide for cost-efficient collection of garbage from residential properties. To achieve these goals the City has implemented the requirement that customers must contain their garbage. 5.1 Each residential household shall have water tight and vermin-proof container(s) of sufficient size to contain all household garbage from one collection day until the next. The container may be provided by the licensed hauler or the resident. A. Garbage must be bagged in either paper or plastic bags of any size before placement in the container, so that spillage or blowing of garbage does not occur during the collection process. B. Only household garbage, as defined in Section 50.001 of the Mounds View City Code shall be placed in the container. Items prohibited from disposal with garbage in the containers include, but may not be limited to: designated recyclables, tree and shrub waste, other yard waste, construction and demolition debris, automotive parts or fluids, electronic waste, or household hazardous waste. 5.2 The container size and collection frequency shall be sufficient to store and contain all garbage normally generated between collections such that the container lid closes tightly and there are no extra bags of garbage next to the container. A. If the garbage container lid cannot be substantially closed or there are overflow bags of garbage set out for collection that cannot be contained in the cart, a container of larger size or an additional container shall be required. This requirement may be imposed by the City if a resident has overflow garbage for up to two (2) weeks (out of any consecutive five (5) weeks) and/or the lid cannot be substantially closed.
