City Manager assigned this issue to Code Enforcement Officer

Good Morning,

Unfortunately, if the bins are on private property, it's the property owners responsibility to have them removed. I would recommend calling the phone numbers on the bins. If they do not remove their bins in a reasonable amount of time, the owner can have them removed.

The owner of a shopping center in town had the same issue. They ended up paying Aladdin Hauling $125 (per bin) to have them removed and disposed of.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I believe that the bins are located in Public Parking Lot K.

Ok, thank you for letting me know!

Because the bins are up against the building, they are on private property (the building would not be built directly on the property line; these is usually a setback). I confirmed this with a city engineer. The property owner will need to call the phone number on the bins to have them removed. Sorry that I am not able to do more.

Bins are on private property.

These bins should not be allowed in the city considering we have Goodwill here. They are eye sores and dumping site for irresponsible residents.

I agree with you but case law prohibits us from banning them. I've been doing extensive research on this to see how can get rid of the bins and we cant.
