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
12
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.

service is a one-year service subscription that is elected by the customer. The .one-year service
agreement is on a annual basis, not a fiscal year basis.
Only empty containers will be transported and cleaned, and are projected to be off the customer's
site for no longer than four (4) hours.
Shared commercial container customers that desire to have their containers cleaned shall
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.
