The city issues a punch pass through the treasurer's office for a fee, as described in the solid waste fee schedule (section 62-14). Punch passes will be sold to: Owners of residential properties, as defined in section 62-11 of this chapter. Limit, two punch passes, per property owner, per year. Owners of multi-unit apartment buildings, as defined, who currently receive trash collection services provided by the city will be eligible to purchase punch passes based on the following--One pass per three dwelling units (i.e. a five unit building would be eligible for two punch passes), per year. The punch pass is good for one year from the day of issue. The punch pass will allow the holder to dispose of waste material at the facility at no charge. Types and quantities of materials, which can be disposed at no charge for each punch pass shall be: Six items of bulky waste (includes one universal waste item and one freon- containing appliance); Three tons (6,000 pounds) of solid waste (may include construction and demolition debris); and Two tires (16 inches or less) without rims. The punch pass will allow Lewiston residents free disposal of items listed on the pass at the facility. The city will not be responsible for hauling the waste material described on the punch pass. Waste hauling is the responsibility of the punch pass holder. Only items listed on the punch pass will be accepted at no charge. The punch pass holder will present the pass at the time he/she enters the facility and the pass will be marked for the items to be disposed of at that time. Once the item is marked or punched on the punch pass, that item will be excluded from further disposal at no charge. Expired punch passes will not be accepted at the solid waste facility. The recipient of the punch pass will be responsible for the pass. Replacement of lost punch passes will be reviewed by the city on a case-by-case basis. Replacement will be at the city's discretion.
