Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15 (2026) § 15-113
SAME—DISPOSAL OF RUBBISH
Operative Text
Every occupant of a dwelling or dwelling unit shall dispose of all his rubbish in a clean and sanitary manner. (Code 1964, § 12A-8)
Under Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15, art. IV § 15-113, every person who occupies a dwelling or dwelling unit is responsible for disposing of their rubbish in a clean and sanitary way. The rule places the obligation directly on the occupant rather than the property owner, covering all forms of rubbish generated within the unit. Failure to meet this standard could constitute a code violation under the city's housing regulations.

Section 15-113 of Bellevue's housing code places the primary rubbish-disposal obligation on occupants, but property owners and managers generally ensure that adequate, sanitary disposal facilities—such as trash receptacles and scheduled pickup access—are available to residents. Lease agreements commonly reinforce this requirement by incorporating local code standards, making tenant compliance a condition of tenancy. Operators who document the availability of proper disposal infrastructure are generally better positioned to demonstrate their own good-faith compliance with the broader housing code.

Under § 15-113 of the Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances, occupants have a direct legal duty to dispose of rubbish in a clean and sanitary manner within their dwelling or dwelling unit. If a landlord alleges a violation related to rubbish disposal, tenants may wish to understand whether adequate disposal facilities were made available to them, as this context can be relevant to any code-enforcement proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations in Nebraska can help occupants understand how local housing code provisions like this one interact with their broader rights and responsibilities.
