Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating single-family or two-unit rental properties in Bellevue should be aware that Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15, art. IV § 15-116 places the primary responsibility for approved garbage disposal or storage facilities on the occupant, not the landlord, except where section 15-49 applies. Compliant operators typically confirm that lease agreements clearly address garbage responsibilities and that any containers on the property meet local approval standards for type and location. Keeping documentation of approved container types and their placement can support ongoing compliance.
