Background/Summary Staff received complaints regarding the placement of waste containers within the street. Upon investigation of the complaints, staff determined that containers were encroaching into the travel portion of the roadway. After consultation with the City Council at the September 21, 2020 work session, staff has provided draft language for a proposed amendment to City Code Section 660.05 Subd 8 on the placement of waste containers. Plan Evaluation City code addresses waste container storage. City Code Section 660.05, Subd. 8 states that, “Refuse and recycling containers from single-family dwellings shall be placed at their assigned collection location the night before, or the day of collection. Containers shall be removed no more than twelve (12) hours after the scheduled collection day.” Yet, this code section does not address the location in which the containers may be placed on trash day, only the duration in which they can be left outside of their assigned collection location.
