Whereas, the current Eureka Springs City Municipal Code § 5.12 F. 1. provides that “Residential customers shall be required to contain their solid waste in bags embossed with the city’s logo.”
Whereas, bags embossed with the city’s logo are costly and of poor quality,
Whereas, unmarked trash bags are more convenient and effective,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUREKA SPRINGS that Eureka Springs City Municipal Code § 5.12 F. 1. is hereby amended as follows:
Section 1. Standard weekly trash service shall be for one 35-gallon container or one trash bag with a maximum capacity of 35 gallons.
Section 2. If more than one container or bag of trash is placed at the curb for disposal, it must be identified with a bag tag. Bag tags can be purchased for $2.00 each at City Hall or where designated by the city. Any overflow or excess bag of waste not marked with a bag tag will be left on the curb.
Section 3. Net income from the bag tags will be contributed towards trash and recycling education.
