A. All uses shall be deemed commercial for purposes of this chapter if a business is operating on the premises.

B. “Carryout service” for commercial customers will entitle the customer to have one or more carts picked up and carried out by the collector one or more times each week, every other week or monthly from any consistent and accessible place, not to exceed 100 feet in distance from any curb, public street edge or alley on his or her property listed in the schedule of charges (commercial service). If the carts are placed so that the collector has to go into a building, through a gate, remove from an enclosure or go up or down stairs, there shall be added thereto a monthly surcharge as set forth in the rate schedule (commercial service).

C. Any commercial customer outside the downtown area bounded by “C” Street, Columbia, Fourth Plain and the river, who does not desire carryout service, can arrange for curb service. On this service, the collector will pick up one or more carts once weekly, every other week, or monthly within zero to five feet of the curb, public street edge or alley of his or her property.

D. Any commercial customer on either carryout service or curb service may place extra cans (in addition to their regular cart service), bags or bundled materials to be picked up for an additional charge listed on the schedule of charges (commercial service).

E. Any commercial customer on any of the above types of service may call the collector for a special pickup, and the collector shall respond as soon as possible and, in any event, not to exceed 48 hours from the time the collector is notified by the customer of the request for special pickup at a rate specified in the schedule of charges (commercial service).
