The trash storage area shall be placed on a concrete pad. The
dimensions of the pad are dependent on the number and size of proposed
containers. Ideally, the pad shall extend six to 10 feet in front
of where the proposed container is to be placed to support the front
wheels of the trash truck servicing the site. The area above the container
shall be free of obstructions. Generally, a fifteen-foot clearance
above the storage area is sufficient.
|
During the servicing of these containers (up to five minutes), it is important that internal circulation at the site is not impeded. Trash containers ideally shall be within a building setback in a given zoning district. At a minimum, they shall be set back in accordance with accessory structures as provided in the Zoning Ordinance [Chapter 27].
