Curbside Pickup - Violation Process
-1st week: City tags as a violation to educate - tag informs resident what to do with item/items.
-2nd week: City tags again as a violation and warns of fine if not corrected by next collection date.
-3rd week: If resident has not complied, City removes pile and resident is charged $250 per load - and the fee is placed on the utility bill where applicable. If utility services are not applicable, an invoice will be sent to the property owner.
If the customer/homeowner contacts the Environmental Services supervisor and is willing to correct a violation in a timely manner, staff works with the resident without charging.
