Council members propose tighter garbage-timing rules, centralized dumpsters for tiny-home clusters

Council member Stewart proposed targeted changes to the city's garbage code aimed at reducing curbside hazards and nuisance conditions. "We're asking that they be set to the curb no sooner than 24 hours before pickup and removed within 24 hours after collection," Stewart said, and he added that large items would be allowed 48 hours before pickup. The proposal also seeks to require centralized garbage pickup for clusters of tiny homes or mobile homes of four to 20 units, with fenced dumpsters similar to multifamily standards.
