When the failure to maintain service becomes a recurring issue, the city is authorized to arrange refuse service itself and charge the cost back to the property as a lien.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 9-8B-15 of the Andover Rental Licensing code, compliant rental property operators maintain an active, regularly scheduled trash and recycling pickup contract and ensure that waste is cleared within seven days of each scheduled collection. Operators who allow service lapses risk the city intervening through emergency abatement, and repeated failures can result in the city arranging refuse service and placing the associated costs as a lien against the property. Keeping documentation of scheduled service agreements and collection records is a practice commonly associated with staying in compliance with this provision.

Section 9-8B-15 of the Andover City Code establishes that rental properties must have regular trash and recycling pickup, which is a condition of the property's rental licensing obligations. If waste is going uncollected at a rental property, tenants may have grounds to report the issue to the City of Andover, which has authority to initiate emergency abatement or mandate refuse service at the landlord's expense. Tenant-rights organizations or a local housing authority can help tenants understand what options are available when a landlord is not meeting this obligation.
