SAME—GARBAGE DISPOSAL OR STORAGE
Operative Text
Adequate garbage disposal facilities or garbage storage containers whose type and location are approved shall be supplied by the rooming house, second class dwelling, hotel or nursing home operator. The operator shall be responsible for the disposal of all garbage in a clean and sanitary manner through the use of approved mechanical equipment or by placing it in the required manner. (Code 1964, § 12A-32)
Under Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15, art. V § 15-154, rooming houses, second-class dwellings, hotels, and nursing homes are required to provide garbage disposal facilities or storage containers that meet local approval standards for both type and placement. The operator of such a property bears responsibility for ensuring all garbage is disposed of in a clean and sanitary way, either through approved mechanical equipment or by following required placement procedures. This rule places the obligation squarely on the property operator rather than on individual occupants.

Operators of rooming houses, second-class dwellings, hotels, and nursing homes in Bellevue are expected to maintain garbage disposal facilities or storage containers that have been approved for both type and location, as outlined in § 15-154. Compliant operators generally ensure that all garbage is removed through approved mechanical equipment or placed in the manner required by local code, keeping the premises clean and sanitary. Routine checks of container placement and disposal methods help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.

Section 15-154 of the Bellevue Code of Ordinances places the duty to provide adequate, approved garbage disposal or storage facilities on the property operator, not on residents. If a rooming house, second-class dwelling, hotel, or nursing home lacks proper garbage facilities or if waste is not being disposed of in a clean and sanitary manner, occupants may have grounds to raise this as a housing-standards concern. General enforcement paths can include contacting the local code enforcement or housing inspection office, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
