Refuse handling
Operative Text
A. The storage, collection and disposal of refuse in the manufactured home park shall be so conducted as to create no health hazards, rodent harborage, insect breeding areas, accident or fire hazards or air pollution. B. All refuse shall be stored in flytight, watertight, rodent-proof containers, which shall be located not more than 150 feet from any manufactured home lot. Containers shall be provided in sufficient number and capacity to properly store all refuse. C. Refuse collection stands shall be provided for all refuse containers. Such container stands shall be so designed as to prevent containers from being tipped, to minimize spillage and container deterioration and to facilitate cleaning around them. D. All refuse containing garbage shall be collected once weekly. Where suitable collection service is not available from private agencies, the manufactured home park operator shall provide this service. All refuse shall be collected and transported in covered vehicles or covered containers.
Section 235-17 of Alden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 235 establishes standards for how refuse must be stored, collected, and disposed of within manufactured home parks. Refuse containers must be fly-tight, watertight, and rodent-proof, placed within 150 feet of any home lot, and mounted on stands designed to prevent tipping and spillage. Garbage-containing refuse must be collected at least once per week, and all collection and transport must use covered vehicles or containers to prevent health and environmental hazards.

Operators of manufactured home parks in Alden are generally expected to maintain a refuse system that fully satisfies § 235-17 of ch. 235, which means providing an adequate number of properly sealed, rodent-proof containers on stable stands within 150 feet of every lot. If no private collection service is available, the park operator is responsible for arranging weekly garbage pickup using covered vehicles or containers. Keeping records of container maintenance, stand inspections, and collection schedules can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with these sanitation requirements.

Under § 235-17 of Alden's Code of Ordinances ch. 235, residents of manufactured home parks have a right to sanitary refuse facilities — including properly sealed, rodent-proof containers on stable stands located within 150 feet of their lot and at least weekly garbage collection. If these conditions are not being met, tenants may consider documenting the deficiencies and reporting them to the appropriate local code enforcement or health authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with manufactured housing regulations can help residents understand what options may be available when a park operator is not meeting these standards.
