The rule specifically requires that rubbish be placed in the containers designated under section 13-82, rather than left loose or disposed of by other means.

For Tenants

New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 3 § 13-80 places the responsibility for clean and sanitary rubbish disposal on each occupant, requiring use of the containers specified under section 13-82. Tenants who believe their building lacks adequate or compliant containers may have grounds to raise that as a related concern, since the provision ties the occupant's duty to the availability of proper receptacles. Tenant-rights organizations or the local housing or code enforcement office can be consulted to better understand how this obligation is applied and enforced in New Britain.
