Plain English

Section 8-25 of the Shelton Code of Ordinances establishes that every person occupying a dwelling or dwelling unit bears responsibility for disposing of their rubbish in a manner that is clean, sanitary, and safe. The rule places the obligation directly on the occupant rather than the property owner. It sets a baseline standard of waste disposal conduct applicable to all residential occupants within the jurisdiction.

For Property Managers

Under Shelton Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. II § 8-25, the primary disposal obligation falls on occupants, but compliant property operators generally ensure that adequate rubbish disposal infrastructure—such as bins, containers, and collection access—is available to support tenants in meeting this standard. Documenting the condition of waste disposal facilities at move-in and throughout tenancy is a common practice among well-managed properties. Operators familiar with this provision typically address disposal-related concerns promptly to maintain overall sanitary conditions on the premises.

For Tenants

Section 8-25 of the Shelton Code of Ordinances places a direct obligation on occupants to dispose of rubbish in a clean, sanitary, and safe manner. Tenants who believe inadequate facilities are making compliance difficult may have grounds to raise that concern with their landlord in writing or contact the relevant local housing or code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations in Connecticut can help occupants understand how this provision interacts with broader habitability standards and what options may be available.
