City of Albany issued the following announcement on Sept. 2.
The City of Albany's Public Works Department wants to remind residents to place yard and construction debris into separate piles, or they could receive a non-compliance notice.
The City Ordinance states the following:
Yard Debris – including trees and brush.
Yard trimmings shall not be mixed with any other debris. Yard trimmings shall be placed adjacent to the alley or curb of the property where alleys are not available from which the materials originate or wherever designated by the solid waste superintendent. It shall be the owner/occupant/tenant's responsibility to separate all debris and place it in separate piles for collection.
Building Debris – including construction materials, carpet, and furniture:
Building materials left by a paid professional will not be collected by the city collection service. The owner of the premises or contractor, builder, or person doing the repairs, remodeling, construction, or demolition shall be required to haul away and legally dispose of all such debris. If the remodeling is done by the property owner/tenant living in the structure, three cubic yards of debris will be picked up at no cost to the citizen; however, accumulated debris over three cubic yards will be picked up in its entirety upon the special collection fee being paid.
Residents will have two weeks to become compliant. If not corrected, further action will be taken by Code Enforcement.
If customers have questions, concerns, or needs clarity about the ordinance, they can contact Public Works at 229-302-1800.
