2. 
A temporary storage or disposal container used for the hauling and disposal of demolition or construction waste ("dumpster") in the course of permitted construction will be permitted on the property during the active demolition/construction of a permitted project but not longer than six (6) months, unless a new application is made and approved. Such approval shall require demonstration of adequate progress toward completion of the permitted project. All sites upon which construction or demolition activities will generate any waste shall be equipped with an adequate and suitable dumpster for the deposit of such waste. All waste generated by construction or demolition activities shall be deposited into the required dumpster and shall not be allowed to accumulate upon the site. The dumpster shall be of sufficient size, dimensions and construction to adequately contain all waste at the site. Only waste material that is related to the site shall be deposited in the dumpster. Dumpsters shall be covered or removed when no construction activity is present and shall be emptied at periodic intervals to prevent overloading; the scattering of materials contained therein, noxious odors and/or other nuisances. Dumpsters may not remain on inactive demolition/ construction sites. Dumpsters shall be located completely on the site rather than on streets, highways or public property. When it is not practical to place dumpsters on the site, a permit shall be obtained from the City prior to the placement of the dumpster on public property for not more than seven (7) days, and if the dumpster is to remain on public property overnight, adequate barricades with flashing lights shall be placed one at each side of the dumpster so that the lights are visible to oncoming traffic.
