Operative Text
Refuse and garbage shall be removed from the mobile home court or trailer court premises at least twice weekly, except that refuse and garbage may be removed just once weekly when the owner, agent, or manager having charge of the mobile home court or trailer court furnishes each mobile home or trailer within the court a front- and/or rear-loading bulk container or poly-kart, roll-out, or toter exceeding 90 gallons in capacity for the purpose of receiving solid waste from such mobile home or trailer. Where suitable refuse and garbage removal service is not available, the court licensee shall provide such service and the removal and disposition shall conform to requirements in the Lincoln Municipal Code .

Under Lincoln, Neb., Mun. Code § 21.56.170, mobile home and trailer courts are required to have refuse and garbage removed from their premises at least twice per week. An exception allows for once-weekly removal if the court operator provides each unit with a large-capacity container exceeding 90 gallons. When no suitable removal service is available in the area, the court licensee must arrange and provide that service directly, and all containers must meet Lincoln Municipal Code standards.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home and trailer courts subject to § 21.56.170 generally maintain a twice-weekly refuse removal schedule or, alternatively, supply each unit with a qualifying bulk container exceeding 90 gallons to qualify for the once-weekly pickup allowance. When no external removal service is available, the court licensee is responsible for arranging compliant removal and disposition in accordance with the Lincoln Municipal Code. Keeping documentation of container specifications and service schedules can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.

Section 21.56.170 establishes that residents of mobile home and trailer courts are entitled to regular refuse and garbage removal—at minimum once weekly with large-capacity containers provided, or twice weekly otherwise. If a court is not meeting these removal requirements, tenants may consider contacting the relevant Lincoln municipal code enforcement office to report the condition. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Lincoln housing regulations can help residents understand what options may be available when a court licensee is not fulfilling its obligations under this provision.
