A sufficient number and capacity of garbage and refuse containers shall be provided to residents to properly contain all waste. 11.4. If a central location is provided for garbage and refuse containers, the location shall be constructed of non-absorbent material, such as concrete or asphalt, shall be smooth, durable and sloped to drain and shall be of sufficient capacity to accommodate all containers. 11.5.

West Virginia regulation W. Va. C.S.R. § 64-40-11 establishes standards for how garbage and refuse must be handled in manufactured home communities. Waste storage, collection, and disposal must be managed in ways that prevent odors, pests, and other nuisance conditions, and all containers must be covered, clean, and in good repair. Pickup must occur at least once every seven days, and where municipal or private collection is unavailable, disposal must follow applicable laws.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under W. Va. C.S.R. § 64-40-11, compliant manufactured home community operators provide a sufficient number of covered, well-maintained containers to handle all resident waste without overflow. Central collection areas, where used, are built from non-absorbent materials like concrete or asphalt, properly sloped for drainage, and sized to accommodate all containers. Operators also ensure waste is collected on a schedule not exceeding seven days and arrange lawful alternative disposal methods when standard collection services are unavailable.

W. Va. C.S.R. § 64-40-11 gives residents of manufactured home communities the right to adequate, covered garbage containers and regular waste collection occurring at least once every seven days. If containers are insufficient, uncovered, in disrepair, or collection is being neglected, these conditions may constitute violations of this regulation. Tenants who believe these standards are not being met can document the conditions, raise the issue with community management, or contact the West Virginia Department of Health, which oversees manufactured housing regulations, or a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
