(a) Required. Every person who owns a Dumpster, and every person who owns, occupies or has control over any premises whereon a Dumpster is located, shall place and keep the Dumpster on a dumpster pad which is located as required in Subsection (b) below. The dumpster pad shall be a concrete or paved level surface which is large enough so that the Dumpster rests entirely within its circumference.

(b) Location. The dumpster pad required in this Section shall be located entirely on private property near an alley such that the Town’s contracted resource recovery and/or refuse collector, following a collection route along the alley, can without unreasonable effort collect the recoverable materials and/or refuse from the Dumpster placed thereon. No such dumpster pad shall be located such that any Dumpster placed thereon might obstruct a passageway in violation of Section 10-3-10 of this Code.

(c) Enforcement. If the Building Official or Town Marshal finds that any Dumpster is either located so as not to be entirely on a dumpster pad or so as to be on a dumpster pad which is unlawfully located, he or she shall affix to the Dumpster a written notice requiring that the violation be corrected within forty-eight (48) hours. If the violation has not been corrected within said forty-eight (48) hours, the Town Manager shall order the Director of Public Works to remove the Dumpster from wherever it is located and to relocate it in any place specified by the Town Manager or Town Marshal for the storage of impounded Dumpsters. For every Dumpster impounded under this Subsection, a fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) shall be charged for the removal of the Dumpster, and a fee of twenty dollars ($20.00) shall be charged for each day or part thereof during which the Dumpster remains impounded or in the Town’s custody. No Dumpster impounded under this Subsection shall be released from impoundment or the Town’s custody until the fees set out in this Subsection have been paid in full.
