Legal Documents of Newport

All residential, commercial, and industrial locations, excepting those set out in § 17-106, shall use commercial refuse containers. Such containers shall be of welded steel construction suitable for the storage of refuse, and shall be equipped with slots or other devices capable of being engaged by a refuse truck designed for that purpose. Commercial refuse containers shall have a maximum capacity of eight (8) cubic yards. The property owner, lessee, or the user of the container shall contact the sanitation department and make provisions to have the collection from the container on such a schedule so that refuse does not accumulate so as to overflow the confines of the container or restrict the closing of the container cover. The board of mayor and aldermen shall approve the design, location, capacity, wind and/or visual barrier, and the number of commercial refuse containers in use at each site. (Ord. # , May 1992)
