Lock Installation Fee

Deposit Fee
For containers, a commercial solid waste service deposit is required. Payments to the City that

next billing cycle. The deposit increase will be based upon the customer's billing history. To
continue receiving service, the customer is required to remit the previous service balance owed
and the increased deposit charges. The General Manager, Solid Waste and Recycling Services, or
designee, may adjust the deposit based upon the review of the customer's credit history and other
criteria.
No Parking Zone Fees
No Parking Zone fees provide for an identifiable 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.
Container Cleaning _Fees
Container cleaning services are available for front and side load commercial containers. The
service is a one -year service subscription that is elected by the customer. The one -year service
agreement is on a calendar year basis. Empty containers are transported, cleaned, and returned,
and are projected to be off the customer's site for approximately four 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.
