OF WEST MEMPHIS, ARKANSAS:
SECTION 1. Section 11 of Ordinance 1288, codified as
Section 8.04.110 of the West Memphis Municipal Code, is
hereby amended to read as follows:
COLLECTION OF OTHER THAN GARBAGE
Normal residential trash shall be collected from the
curbside of private residences by the Sanitation Department
at least once a week. Normal residential trash shall
include bagged yard clippings and leaves, limbs, and
household refuse such as other bagged items, appliances,
and furniture that a household may generate under normal
circumstances. Yard clippings, leaves and limbs shall be
set out separately from other trash items. These items
shall be picked up as part of the standard sanitation
services provided under the monthly sanitation fee unless
the amount of trash is a truckload consisting of twenty-one
(21) cubic yards or more. Under such cases, the trash pick-
up shall constitute a "special pick-up" and a pick-up fee
must be paid at the City Clerk's Office before the pick-up
can be made. The customer must obtain an estimate of the
number of truckloads required to complete the pick-up from
the Sanitation Superintendent or his designate. If the
customer generates, on a continuous basis of more than two
times per calendar month, trash loads between one-half and
a full load, then they must pay a "partial special pick-up"
fee equal to one-half the "special pick-up" fee. Once the
fee has been paid, the City Clerk's Office will notify the
Sanitation Department to proceed with the pick-up. The cost
per truckload will be calculated by multiplying the
capacity of the truck by the current tipping fee charged by
the County Landfill plus $20.00.
The only exception to the above will be for loads in
excess of a truckload of twenty-one (21) cubic yards of
wood type pick-up that result from residential, annual-type
clean-up effort. Each address will be permitted one
extraordinary type pick-up of one truckload annually and it
will be the Sanitation Department's responsibility to
record such pick-ups.
The Sanitation Department shall not pick up any
concrete, brick, or other masonry items, roofing material,
or any construction/remodeling/demolition-type materials,
regardless of whether it is commercially or residentially
generated.
In addition, the Sanitation Department shall not set
out dumpsters, either on a temporary or a permanent basis,
that will be used to collect construction or demolition
debris.
