§ 28-56. Receptacles, containers and dumpster containers.  


Latest version.
  • A. 
    All receptacles, containers or dumpster containers located upon construction sites or adjacent thereto shall be maintained in such a manner so as to prevent any litter and/or debris from escaping and becoming scattered throughout the construction site or the general neighborhood.
    B. 
    Receptacles, containers or dumpster containers located upon construction sites shall be emptied at periodic intervals so as to prevent overloading, the escape of materials contained therein and so as to prevent obnoxious odors or nuisances of any type escaping therefrom during the period when construction or demolition activities are taking place upon the construction site.
    C. 
    Receptacles, containers or dumpster containers shall not be overfilled and shall be removed from the premises within 10 days of being filled to capacity. A receptacle, container or dumpster container shall be considered overfilled if there is more waste deposited therein than it was designed to hold.
    D. 
    In instances where receptacles, containers or dumpster containers contain refuse or other odor-emitting materials, said receptacles, containers or dumpster containers shall be emptied no less than once every seven days, except that the Enforcement Officer may direct that a receptacle, container or dumpster container be emptied sooner upon a determination that such refuse or other odor-emitting materials constitute a nuisance.
    E. 
    To the extent possible, receptacles, containers or dumpster containers shall be located completely on the construction site rather than on sidewalks, streets or rights-of-way; however, to the extent that they cannot be so located, then their placement shall be governed by the provisions of Chapter 35, Chapter 46, Chapter 48 and Chapter 70 of the Town Code.
