§ 8-35. Bulk containers for multiple residential units.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    All new multiple residential developments of six (6) or more units per zoning lot shall provide bulk containers; provided, however, the manager may waive such requirement in those cases where the manager determines on the basis of evidence satisfactory to the manager that:

    (1)

    a.
    The six (6) or more units are an addition of not greater than fifty (50) percent to a multiple residential complex existing prior to the date of original enactment of this ordinance (March 5, 1973), and

    b.

    That such waiver would not be contrary to the intent of this ordinance of providing for efficient garbage collection services; or

    (2)

    a.

    All units have frontage on a public street that is constructed to town standards; and

    b.

    All units have driveways or other clearly defined curbside locations where roll-carts can be serviced along the public street from behind the curb without blocking sidewalks for each individual unit; and

    c.

    That such waiver would not be contrary to the intent of this article of providing for efficient garbage collection services; or

    (3)

    Each practical location of such dumpster or dumpsters could reasonably create concern for safety or health considerations that, in the opinion of the manager, outweigh the concern and intent of this article for efficient garbage collection services.

    (b)

    Determinations by the manager under this section may be appealed to the council, and the council may make such determination and grant such exemption as if finds appropriate under the evidence presented.

    (c)

    No person shall place cardboard in any bulk container being provided for the disposal of solid waste at a multiple residential unit location under this section.
