10-13-25 Requirements For Accessing Private Property For Refuse And Recycling Collection

A. Minimum Road Requirements: The minimum width of a road accessing private property for refuse and recycling collection shall be twenty (20) feet. In addition, there must be a minimum turn-around of sixty (60) feet OR a one hundred and twenty (120) foot hammer head. In addition, the surface must be asphalt, concrete or improved gravel. If these requirements are not met, the residents will be required to transport residential carts to the nearest public road for collection. In some circumstances, the private road may be best serviced by a front-load dumpster located at easily accessible points approved by the Logan City Environmental Department. B. Turn Around: There shall be no parking or snow storage allowed at the turn around or hammer head. C. Placement: A minimum of twenty (20) foot clearance overhead from building eves, parking awnings, trees, poles, overhead power or cable wires, etc. is required. D. Dwellings: If there are or will be less than three (3) separate dwellings located on a private road, customer(s) will be required to transport their containers to the nearest city or county road for collection. The company contracted with the city to provide waste collection will determine the final collection point. If there is or will be more than three (3) separate dwellings, collection on a private road may be considered provided the roads are adequate and that placement and turnaround provisions are met.(5-2025, 11-18-25) E. Waiver: To provide collection on a private road, the property owner must sign a waiver stating that Logan City will not be liable for road damage. The waiver will be on file in the Logan City Environmental Department's Office. A new waiver will need to be signed any time there is a new owner. F. Maintenance: Regular road maintenance is required for continued access on private roads: potholes, soft shoulders, steep hills, snow removal, etc. affect efficiency and safety. The collection point may be relocated if owners do not promptly address these concerns. Collection Time: An estimated additional time required to provide service to a specific location will be used in deciding the type of collection and/or the collection point. G. Multi-unit Developments: Multi-unit, private development areas must be serviced using frontload dumpsters instead of residential carts. Access to these dumpsters must meet the current specifications for commercial dumpster placement. (4-2013, 10-24-13)
