Excelsior, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. IV § 8-110
Responsibility for storage and disposal of garbage, rubbish, and recyclable materials
Operative Text
Every owner of a multiple-family dwelling shall supply approved rubbish containers for the sanitary and safe storage and disposal of rubbish and garbage.
Under Excelsior Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. IV § 8-110, owners of multi-family residential buildings bear the responsibility for providing approved containers suitable for the sanitary and safe storage and disposal of rubbish and garbage. The rule places this obligation squarely on the property owner rather than on tenants or any other party. It establishes a baseline standard for how waste must be handled at the building level, requiring that containers meet an approval standard rather than leaving the choice of receptacle entirely open.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 8-110 of the Excelsior Code of Ordinances, compliant multi-family property owners generally ensure that approved rubbish containers — those meeting the municipality's standards for sanitary and safe waste storage — are present on the property and available for use. Operators typically verify that the containers they supply conform to any local specifications for type, size, or construction, and that they are maintained in a condition that supports sanitary disposal. Keeping documentation of container procurement and periodic inspection records is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating ongoing compliance.

Excelsior Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. IV § 8-110 establishes that the owner of a multi-family dwelling — not the tenant — is responsible for supplying approved containers for rubbish and garbage storage and disposal. Tenants who find that adequate, approved waste containers are absent or inadequate at their building may have grounds to raise this as a housing-condition concern. General enforcement paths can include filing a complaint with the local code enforcement or housing authority, documenting the condition in writing, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
