105.06 SEPARATION OF YARD WASTE REQUIRED

All yard waste shall be separated by the owner or occupant from all other solid waste accumulated on the premises and shall be composted or burned on the premises on designated days in the spring and fall or hauled to the City yard waste burn site. As used in this section, “yard waste” means grass clippings, leaves, garden residue and branches no larger than 2 inches in diameter. Yard waste does not include tree stumps. In addition to the civil penalty set out in Chapter 3 of this Code of Ordinances for a violation of this section, any person who hauls items to the City Yard Waste Burn Site other than what is defined as “yard waste” in this section shall be liable for the costs of removal and disposal of said items.

Dates: an Iowa ordinance takes effect when it is published after adoption. Where the clerk's certificate records the publication date it is used; otherwise the adoption date stands in for it. "Not yet consolidated" means the ordinance amends this section but its new text has not been checked into this compilation yet: read the ordinance.
