§ 8-3. Compulsory garbage service.

(a)

Every owner, tenant, or resident of a residential dwelling unit designed for and occupied by one (1) family as a dwelling shall use the services of the contractor, and it shall be the responsibility of the owner to pay for such services. Such compulsory service shall include a minimum of two (2) pickups per week.

(b)

Every owner or tenant of a nonresidential establishment shall use the services of the contractor, and it shall be the responsibility of the owner to pay for such services. Such compulsory service shall include a minimum of two (2) pickups per week if waste includes garbage as defined herein.

(c)

Every property owner, person, firm or corporation shall use the services of contractor or cause such services to be used for the collection and removal of construction waste. It shall be the responsibility of the owner to arrange and pay for such services.

(d)

All removal, transport or hauling of trash, garbage and construction waste within the City of Coral Springs not inconsistent with other provisions of this chapter shall be the responsibility of the contractor. Any such removals, transport or hauling not done by contractor shall be deemed a violation of this chapter.

(e)

The city may require an increase in the frequency of collections and/or the size of containers for residential garbage service and nonresidential establishments when the service being provided becomes insufficient in the city's judgment to handle the quantity of waste generated or becomes a detriment to the health, safety, or welfare of the community. This does not preclude the city from requiring a special collection where garbage, trash and construction waste is placed at curbside earlier than 7:00 p.m. of the day preceding scheduled collection. The owner shall be responsible for payment for such services.

(f)

Every property owner, tenant, resident, firm or corporation shall use the services of contractor for the collection of recyclable materials upon the approval, the resolution, of the recycling program by the city, and it shall be the responsibility of the owner to pay for such service. Such compulsory service shall include a minimum of one (1) pickup per week. It is not the intent of this section to prohibit any nonprofit organization from soliciting recyclable materials for the purpose of resource recovery and recycling.
