To <br /> achieve these goals the City has implemented the requirement that customers must contain their <br /> garbage. <br /> 5.1 Each residential household shall have water- 4ight3yatertight and vermin-proof <br /> container(s)of sufficient size to contain all household garbage from one collection day <br /> until the next. The container may be provided by the licensed hauler or the resident. <br /> A. Garbage must be bagged in either paper or plastic bags of any size before placement <br /> in the container, so that spillage or blowing of garbage does not occur during the <br /> collection process. <br /> B. Only household garbage, as defined in Section 50.001 of the Mounds View City <br /> Ge&Code shall be placed in the container. Items prohibited from disposal with <br /> garbage in the containers inel 'Re, bu4include but may not be limited Ito <br /> designated recyclables, tree and shrub waste, other yard waste, construction and <br /> demolition debris, automotive parts or fluids, electronic waste, or household <br /> hazardous waste. <br /> 5.2 The container size and collection frequency shall be sufficient to store and contain all <br /> garbage normally generated between collections such that the container lid closes <br /> tightly and there are no extra bags of garbage next to the container. <br /> A. If the garbage container lid cannot be substantially closed or there are overflow <br /> bags of garbage set out for collection that cannot be contained in the cart, a <br /> container of larger size or an additional container shall be required. This <br /> requirement may be imposed by the City if a resident has overflow garbage for up <br /> to two (2) weeks (out of any consecutive five (5) weeks) and/or the lid cannot be <br /> substantially closed. <br /> B. If overflow garbage is placed next to the garbage container for collection, it shall <br /> be securely bagged such that animals and vermin may not access the contents of <br /> the bag. The licensed hauler may charge an additional fee for collection of any <br /> extra bags of garbage. <br /> C. The resident is responsible for the appropriate use and safety of the garbage <br /> containers, including both the interior and exterior of the containers. The resident <br /> shall rinse or wash the interior of the container as needed, and shall keep <br /> the containers free of markings or graffiti. <br /> D. The bill payer shall be responsible for payment of fees for garbage collection <br /> service and fees for collection of any extra bags to the licensed hauler. <br /> City Of Mounds View•8 <br /> Solid Waste and Recycling Standards <br /> DOCSOPEN\MU210\313\990920.v7-10/8/25 <br />
