Garbage and refuse
Operative Text
A. Adequate sanitary facilities and methods shall be used for the collection, storage, handling and disposal of garbage and refuse. B. In multiple dwellings, it shall be prohibited to store or accumulate garbage or refuse in public halls and stairways.
Canton Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 183 § 183-41 establishes two related requirements for garbage and refuse management in residential settings. First, all collection, storage, handling, and disposal of garbage and refuse must be carried out using adequate sanitary facilities and methods. Second, in multiple dwellings specifically, garbage and refuse may not be stored or allowed to accumulate in public halls and stairways.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 183-41, property owners and managers are generally expected to provide and maintain sanitary containers and designated areas for garbage and refuse collection and disposal. Operators of multiple dwellings in particular take care to ensure that common areas such as hallways and stairways remain free of stored or accumulated garbage and refuse. Compliant operators typically establish clear disposal procedures and communicate them to residents to prevent violations in shared spaces.

Section 183-41 gives tenants in multiple dwellings a basis to expect that public halls and stairways will be kept free of garbage and refuse accumulation, and that adequate sanitary facilities for waste disposal will be provided. If these conditions are not being met, tenants may consider documenting the issue and reporting it to the appropriate Canton Village code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options are generally available when sanitary conditions in a building fall short of what the code requires.
