enclosures or screening devices, from solid waste Equipment which do not have an access
opening of at least twelve (12) feet inside diameter (ID) for front-load Equipment; and

N.
O
NO PARKING ZONE FEES FOR CONTAINERS IN RIGHT-OF-WAY
No Parking Zone fees provide for an identifiable and painted area in the street which is
designated as a vehicular No Parking Zone, which provides for road clearance, allowing the
city's trucks to always have accessibility to the customer's container. The No Parking Zone
is designed to prevent the container from being blocked by another vehicle, and therefore
eliminates additional service fees from being charged to the customer, and the need for the
city's truck driver to return to the customer's address and empty the container once a vehicle
blocking a container has moved.
Customers may secure a dedicated No Parking Zone for front load and side load containers
by completing an application with the City Traffic Engineer. The initial application and first
calendar year fees are:
1. Single length No Parking Zone for each front load container is $175 for the initial
calendar year.
2. Extra length No Parking Zone for each side load container is $350 for the initial
calendar year.
Renewal fees for each subsequent calendar year will be:
1. $2.80 per month for each single length front load No Parking Zone. This fee will be
billed monthly on the customer's utility bill.
2. $5.50 per month for each extra length side load No Parking Zone. This fee will be
billed monthly on the customer's utility bill.
CONTAINER CLEANING SERVICES
Commercial container cleaning services are available for commercial customers using
front load or side load containers. The service is a subscription service this is electable by
the customer. Customers electing to utilize the scheduled services are required to sign up

until they have been emptied by city crews during the customer's normal scheduled
collection service. Only empty containers will be transported and cleaned.

determine the monthly amount to be billed to each customer, which when totaled shall equal
the monthly rates for scheduled services or the on-demand service rate.

period is considered a separate violation and the service provider is subject to being charged a sum
of up to $500.00 for each day of violation. Following the receipt of a `No Operations' declaration
and prior to a service provider being reinstated to legally operate within the city limits of Denton,
the service provider must meet with the city staff to update their application and agreement and

in a timely manner, the city will issue a "No Operations' declaration to the service provider, and

cause the reclassification of these materials to municipal solid waste (MSW), thereby negating the
ability of a service provider to transport this material within Denton's city limits under their
operating permit as per this ordinance.
