The updated section of the Rollout Container Collection Service ordinance, as approved by Charlotte City Council in April: “Rollout containers will be collected from the curb. Containers must be placed at ground level, within six feet of the curb, but not in or on a roadway, and at least three feet away from each other or other obstacles such as mailboxes, telephone poles, automobiles, bulky items, etc., or in a location specified by the solid waste services director or the director’s designee. A customer should use reasonable care and caution when placing a rollout container along the curb and should avoid interfering with the access to or denying the use of a sidewalk by others.” For information on the city’s sidewalk safety campaign, visit http://charmeck.org/city/charlotte/campaigns/Pages/ sidewalksafety.aspx Number of bicycle fatalities in Charlotte in recent years:
