Operative Text
Every occupant of a dwelling or dwelling unit shall dispose of all rubbish in a clean and sanitary manner by placing it in the rubbish or recycling containers as required by city ordinance. (Am. Ord. 473, passed 12-12-2006)
Park Rapids Ch. 152 § 152.032 establishes that every person occupying a dwelling or dwelling unit is responsible for disposing of rubbish in a clean and sanitary way. Specifically, occupants must place their rubbish and recyclables in the appropriate containers as directed by city ordinance. The rule places the disposal obligation squarely on the occupant, not the property owner.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Park Rapids Ch. 152 § 152.032, compliant property operators typically ensure that adequate rubbish and recycling containers are available on the premises so that occupants can meet their disposal obligations. Landlords and property managers often include rubbish disposal requirements in lease agreements to reinforce the city ordinance standard. Keeping records of container availability and any notices sent to occupants about proper disposal practices is a common part of responsible property management.

Park Rapids Ch. 152 § 152.032 places the duty of clean and sanitary rubbish disposal directly on occupants, meaning tenants are expected to use designated rubbish and recycling containers in accordance with city ordinance. If a tenant believes inadequate containers are being provided, making the obligation difficult to fulfill, that concern can generally be raised with the local code enforcement office or a tenant-rights organization. Tenants who receive a violation notice related to this provision may wish to consult a tenant-rights resource to understand available options.
