Under Greenwich Town Code ch. 5 § 5-11, compliant property operators ensure that every dwelling unit they manage is furnished with rubbish and garbage storage facilities that satisfy the standards prescribed elsewhere in the Code. This typically means regularly assessing whether existing containers, bins, or designated storage areas remain adequate in size and condition for the number of occupants. Operators generally document the presence and condition of these facilities as part of routine property inspections.
