Under Grand Island Code ch. 225 § 225-16, park owners and managers are responsible for providing or contracting solid waste collection services that meet minimum weekly pickup schedules for garbage and rubbish, with more frequent removal as conditions require. Group storage areas must be screened from public view, rodent- and animal-proof, and located within 250 feet of the spaces they serve, while individual site containers must also be screened and pest-proof.

Grand Island Code ch. 225 § 225-16 gives manufactured home park residents the right to live in an environment where solid waste is collected at least weekly and managed in a way that prevents health hazards, pests, and fire risks. If waste is not being collected regularly, storage areas are unsanitary or improperly screened, or burning of solid waste is occurring on park grounds, these conditions may constitute violations of this provision. Residents who observe such conditions can document them and report concerns to the Town of Grand Island or the Erie County Department of Health, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
