Glastonbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-53
Garbage and rubbish storage facilities
Operative Text
Every dwelling unit shall be supplied with adequate rubbish storage facilities and with adequate garbage disposal facilities or garbage storage containers whose type and location are approved by the director of health. It shall be the responsibility of the owner to supply such facilities or containers for all dwelling units in a multiple dwelling. In all other cases it shall be the responsibility of the occupants to furnish such facilities or containers.
Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-53 requires that every dwelling unit be equipped with adequate facilities or containers for storing rubbish and disposing of garbage, with the type and placement of those containers subject to approval by the local director of health. The rule draws a clear line of responsibility: in multi-unit buildings, the burden of providing these facilities falls on the property owner, while in other housing arrangements the occupants themselves are responsible for furnishing them. The provision ensures that no dwelling unit goes without a compliant waste-management setup.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-53, owners of multiple dwellings are responsible for supplying adequate rubbish and garbage storage facilities for every unit in the building. Compliant operators typically confirm that the type and placement of all containers have been reviewed and approved by the Glastonbury director of health before tenants move in, and they maintain those facilities throughout the tenancy. Keeping documentation of any approvals or correspondence with the director of health can help demonstrate ongoing compliance.

If those facilities are missing, inadequate, or located in a manner not approved by the director of health, a tenant may have grounds to raise the deficiency as a housing-code violation.
