Title
An ordinance relating to the collection of bulky waste.

Sections
79-6.5-3-b am
79-6.5-3-c-1 am

Analysis
Beginning January 1, 2011, the amount of bulky waste the department of public works collects without charge was reduced to one cubic yard. This ordinance clarifies the section of the code that pertains to the bulky waste collection charge to make it consistent with current bulky collection practice.

Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:

Bulky waste exceeding [[2]] >>one<< cubic [[yards]]>>yard<< shall be tagged by the commissioner with a notice to the property owner to remove the waste within 3 days or be subject to the charge. The bulky waste collection charge shall be due and payable 30 days after billing. If any owner fails, omits, neglects or refuses to pay any charge imposed under s. 81-15.5 for bulky waste collection, pursuant to s. 66.0627, Wis.
