ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section I. Chapter 7.08 of the Marysville Muncipal Code is hereby amended by amending MMC
7.08.065 to read as follows:
7.08.065 Accessibility of containers.
(I) Within but no sooner than 24 hours of the time of collection, it shall be the duty of each garbage
customer to place all garbage containers, excess garbage containers, recycling carts and yard waste
collection carts in an accessible place abutting the street or alley used by the city garbage trucks to service
the subject property.
(a) The garbage containers, excess garbage containers, and carts shall be situated at the edge of
the public right-of-way, or at the curbline if such exists.
(b) Place all carts with lids opening toward roadway.
(c) Maintain at least two feet of clearance between each cart, can, or container.
(2) Arrangements may be made for special collection sites for handicapped persons, multiple-family
complexes, and commercial and industrial customers. Special collection procedures that involve
"additional" or "extra" service may be charged for such service per MMC 7.08.120, Special services
performed by city -Owner's cost.
(3) On the day of collection, garbage containers or other receptacles shall be removed by the customer
from inaccessible places or underground storage. In the event that any garbage container or other
receptacle is inaccessible to the collector, the city shall refuse collection service. Such refusal shall not
relieve the customer of the obligation to pay the regular service fee. If the customer wishes to schedule
the garbage container or other receptacle to be emptied which was refused service because of
inaccessibility, the customer shall be billed an amount equal to an extra pick-up commensurate with their
current level of service, as noted in MMC 7.08.110, Rate schedule. This does not relieve the customer of
the obligation to pay the regular service fee.
(4) On the day of collection, after the garbage is collected it shall be the duty of each garbage customer
to remove all garbage containers from the accessible place abutting the street or alley as referenced in
Subsection (1) of this Section. Any container not so removed within two business days may be removed
by the utility, and a fee will be charged to redeliver the container.
