The owner or other person referred to in Subd. 1 above shall cause the contents of containers to be collected by a collector licensed under Section 436 once every week, more frequently if necessary, or as required by the City. However, collection shall not be required if the said owner or other person ensures to the satisfaction of the City that a sanitary and environmentally sound alternative is used to dispose of the contents of containers. (Amended, Ord. Nos. 83-29, Sec. 10; 89-19, Sec. 5; 93-13, Sec. 4) Subd. 4. Placing of Containers. Refuse containers shall be placed in the rear of the premises or in such a manner as to be out of view from the street in front of the premises or placed in a garage located on the premises; except as may be reasonable and immediately necessary for collection. In no event shall containers be placed or maintained in such a way as to unreasonably interfere with the use of adjoining property. (a) Containers kept outside shall be placed in such a manner as not to permit entry of or harborage for animals, insects or other vermin and so maintained as not to be tipped over. (b) Containers shall be maintained in a reasonably clean condition at all times. (c) Refuse and refuse containers shall not be moved or placed for collection sooner than the day prior to scheduled collection, nor shall the same be permitted to remain there or in a manner contrary to the placement requirements set forth in this Subd. 4 for more than twenty-four (24) hours. (Added, Ord. No. 87-45, Sec. 1) Subd. 5. Defective Containers. Whenever a container is in poor repair, is corroded or otherwise defective so as to permit insects, vermin or rodents to enter, or does not meet any other requirements of Section 1005, the collector shall notify the owner or occupant in writing on forms furnished by the City for such purpose. A copy of said notice shall be furnished to the City Administrator's office. (a) The collector shall affix the owner or occupant's notice to the container. The notice shall state the deficiency and shall require repair or replacement on or before the next collection date. If the deficiency is not corrected by said compliance date, the City shall condemn the deficient container and affix a tag so stating such condemnation. (Amended, Ord. No. 89-19, Sec. 6) (b) It is unlawful for any person to place or deposit refuse in a container which has been condemned. Section 1005:10. (Repealed Ord. No. 89-19, Sec. 7 - see Section 436) Section 1005:15. Refuse Littering Prohibited. Except as otherwise provided by ordinance, it is unlawful to throw, scatter or deposit, or cause or permit to be thrown, scattered or deposited, any refuse, handbill, or other material (such as recyclables as defined in Sections 1007:00, Subd. 17 and 435:00, Subd. 3, or yard waste) upon or in any public or private place, land, body of water, vehicle or structure within the municipality. Every person shall maintain his premises and abutting sidewalks and boulevard areas free of refuse litter. (Amended, Ord. No. 89-19, Sec. 8) Section 1005:20. Nuisance Abatement. On any premises any accumulation of refuse not stored in containers which comply with this Section, or any accumulation of refuse which has remained thereon for more than one (1) week is hereby declared to be a nuisance and may be abated by order of the City and the cost of abatement, together with a certification processing fee in the amount set forth in Section 515, may be assessed on the property where the nuisance was found as provided by Minnesota Statutes, Section 145.23. This remedy shall be available both in addition to and as an alternative to the criminal penalties provided in Sections 1100:00, Subd. 1 and 1100:20, for violations of any provision of the Ordinance Code.
