Free annual large pick-up. Each residence may utilize one collection per year for solid waste at no additional cost for solid waste that would otherwise be classified as an extraordinary service, but that does not result from services provided by a person other than the owner or occupant of the residence, and where such collection does not exceed sixty (60) yards container capacity.

(f)

All solid waste and recyclable materials placed out in conformance with the provisions herein shall be collected.
