A. 
Regulations.
1. 
Dumpsters shall be constructed and maintained with covers, doors, floors and sides sufficient to prevent loss of contents by wind, by leakage or by animals.
2. 
Dumpster covers must not allow rain, snow and the like to enter the dumpster so as to create spillage and runoff when emptied.
3. 
Drain plugs, when so equipped, must be leak-proof.
4. 
Drain plugs, doors, lids, covers and gates shall be kept securely closed at all times.
5. 
Dumpsters shall not be overfilled in a manner that prevents closure of doors or lids or allows spillage of contents.
6. 
Outdoor storage of excess solid waste, site-separated materials, or source-separated materials is prohibited unless they are stored in the dumpster as required in this Section. The owner shall arrange for disposal of any excess waste within twenty-four (24) hours.
[Ord. No. 2051, 4-16-2024]
A. 
Dumpsters shall be enclosed on all sides within a permanent enclosure, unless the location itself is shielded by buildings or other structures so as to be reasonably inconspicuous to ground-level view from streets, public sidewalks or adjacent properties. If not more than two household-sized containers, each with less than one-half (1/2) cubic yard or one hundred (100) gallon capacity, are used on a parcel, enclosure will not be required.
B. 
Enclosures shall consist of a wall or fence on all sides and shall be equipped with a gate.
C. 
Height of walls and gate shall be sufficient to shield the enclosed dumpster(s) from ground-level view from streets and adjacent properties, but shall not exceed six (6) feet from the finish grade at the gate unless attached to a taller structure.
D. 
The enclosure and gate shall be a permanent structure constructed of high quality materials which prevent visibility, and which are consistent with the building materials of the main building on the site.
E. 
Enclosures shall be maintained to retain their original appearance, shape and configuration.
