Purpose:
To provide guidelines that set forth the application and staff review for obtaining a residential garbage collection exemption in the City of Elk Grove as described in the Elk Grove Municipal Code, Title 30, Section 30.20.020. Exemptions are intended to accommodate the following situations: (1) secondary structure on a primary parcel and; (2) self-hauling.
Approved exemptions are valid for one year and are subject to renewal each year. An approved exemption is only valid for the current owner of a parcel and is not transferable.
An approved exemption only applies to residential solid waste charges. It does not exempt a property from storm drainage or Household Hazardous Waste Availability Fees.
Application Process:
A resident wishing to apply for a garbage collection exemption must complete the form entitled "Request for Garbage Collection Exemption" which can be obtained from the Utility Billing Department, and submit the completed form, with all required attachments, to the Utility Billing Manager, 8401 Laguna Palms Way, Elk Grove, CA 95758.
Disclaimer:
If the City of Elk Grove's Community Enhancement Division determines that a Code violation has occurred because a specific property's trash or yard debris is creating a nuisance or threatening public health, any approved Garbage Exemption request will be immediately rescinded, trash carts will be delivered, and billing will commence in accordance with the terms prior to the exemption approval.
