REFUSE, GARBAGE AND RUBBISH
Operative Text
Every dwelling unit shall have adequate refuse, garbage or rubbish storage facilities provided by the owner of said premises. These facilities shall comply to the health and garbage ordinances of the City. (1997 Code)
Under Colona Chapter 2, § 9-2-5-11, every rental dwelling unit must be equipped with adequate storage facilities for refuse, garbage, and rubbish. The responsibility for providing these facilities falls on the property owner, not the tenant. Additionally, whatever facilities are provided must meet the standards set by the City of Colona's health and garbage ordinances.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 9-2-5-11, compliant property owners ensure that each dwelling unit on their premises is supplied with sufficient refuse, garbage, and rubbish storage facilities. Operators generally verify that these facilities meet all applicable City of Colona health and garbage ordinance requirements, and address any deficiencies promptly. Keeping documentation of facility maintenance and compliance with local ordinances is a practice commonly associated with well-managed rental properties.

Section § 9-2-5-11 establishes that your landlord — not you — bears the responsibility for providing adequate refuse, garbage, and rubbish storage facilities at the rental property. If those facilities are missing, insufficient, or not in compliance with City of Colona health and garbage ordinances, that may constitute a violation of this provision. Tenants who believe this requirement is not being met can consider contacting the City of Colona's code enforcement or health department, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
