Ansonia, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 13 § 13-13
Garbage cans
Operative Text
An adequate number of metal garbage cans with tightly fitting metal covers shall be provided for the use of occupants by all owners of dwellings and rooming houses.
Under Ansonia Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. I § 13-13, owners of dwellings and rooming houses are required to supply a sufficient number of metal garbage cans equipped with tightly fitting metal covers for use by the people who live there. The rule sets a material and design standard — metal construction with secure lids — rather than leaving container type to the owner's discretion. It applies broadly to both traditional dwellings and rooming houses.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Ansonia Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. I § 13-13 places the responsibility for garbage container provision squarely on property owners and managers. Compliant operators generally ensure that enough metal garbage cans with tightly fitting metal covers are available to serve all occupants of their dwelling or rooming house, and that the containers remain in serviceable condition. Keeping up with the number of occupants and replacing damaged or missing cans are the kinds of ongoing maintenance practices associated with meeting this standard.
