Fort Jones, Cal., Code of Ordinances ch. 18.64 § 18.64.070
Garbage disposal and receptacles
Operative Text
Garbage disposal and receptacles are to be provided by the property owner. Garbage receptacles must be located on the lot or property in a manner that does not hinder access to any required off-street parking or loading spaces.
Fort Jones Code of Ordinances ch. 18.64 § 18.64.070 establishes that property owners are responsible for supplying garbage disposal facilities and receptacles for their properties. The rule also specifies that these receptacles must be placed on the lot in a way that keeps required off-street parking and loading areas fully accessible. In other words, trash containers cannot block or obstruct any parking or loading spaces that are mandated by local code.

Under Fort Jones Code of Ordinances ch. 18.64 § 18.64.070, compliant property owners furnish adequate garbage receptacles for their properties and ensure those receptacles are sited on the lot without blocking any required off-street parking or loading spaces. Operators generally review receptacle placement whenever parking configurations change or new tenants move in to confirm continued compliance. Keeping documentation of receptacle locations relative to parking areas can support a showing of compliance if questions arise.

Fort Jones Code of Ordinances ch. 18.64 § 18.64.070 makes clear that the responsibility for providing garbage receptacles falls on the property owner, not the tenant. If receptacles are absent or are positioned in a way that blocks required parking or loading areas, tenants may have grounds to raise this as a code-compliance concern with the appropriate Fort Jones municipal authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options are generally available when a landlord appears to be out of compliance with this provision.
