All owners of property within the Borough of Sharpsburg having
thereon either a commercial or residential dumpster, or both, shall
locate said dumpster to the interior of a building or structure concealing
same. If it is not feasible to locate said dumpster inside a building
or structure, all said owners of property shall have installed around
said dumpster screening materials hereinafter set forth below in this
part in order to adequately and permanently enclose and conceal said
dumpster from the view from any public streets and/or all adjacent
residential areas. All dumpster enclosures, when not in use, shall
be gated and locked. Further, all dumpsters shall be erected upon
a concrete pad or asphalt surface.
The screening erected around a dumpster shall be constructed such that the fencing is at least two feet above the height of the top of the dumpster. The screening shall be made of durable construction materials, such as vinyl screening, to be installed in conformity with §
10-501 of this part.
All dumpsters must be located upon the property of the owner
thereof and within the boundary lines of said property.
All owners of property shall install such screening around said
dumpsters within 60 days of the effective date of this part.

within 30 days of the effective date of this part. On January 1, 2000
and on every January 1 of every year thereafter, all owners shall
apply to the Borough Secretary for an annual permit for a dumpster

herein shall not be prorated during the calendar year.
Any owners of property for whom compliance with the provisions
