City officials are reminding Douglas residents to adhere to Solid Waste ordinance policies regarding time of placement and time of removal of trash carts.

Beginning the evening before, and no later than 6 a.m. on the day of collection, customers should place their container(s) at the curbside in front of the customer’s residence. The container should be removed from the curbside and returned to a location behind the customer’s residence or to a place that is outside of city’s right-of-way and out of view from the right-of-way no later than 6 a.m. following the scheduled day of service.

“Timely placement and removal of carts should help control the amount of litter on the roadways, as well as prevent carts from being knocked over,” says City Manager Terrell Jacobs.

All residential solid waste stored outside the residence pending collection shall be placed in city approved trash receptacles. Under no circumstances will garbage outside of the city-issued container be collected. Customers may request additional containers for an additional monthly fee.

City of Douglas officials will begin issuing citations to customers routinely allowing containers to remain at curbside outside of the hours specified.  Customers who continue to place or leave carts beyond specified times will be deemed to create a nuisance, punishable by fines.

The current fine for trash citations are as follows: 1st offense will be a $25.00 fine; 2nd offense and beyond will be a $75.00 fine for each offense.

The Solid Waste ordinance in its entirety can be found at www.cityofdouglas.com (click on ‘Code of Ordinances Chapter 74’).

For more information, call the Code Enforcement office at (912) 389-3462.
