Ellenville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 142 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 142-35
Garbage and refuse facilities
Operative Text
Adequate sanitary facilities and methods shall be used for the collection, storage, handling and disposal of garbage and refuse, as determined by appropriate Village officials.
Section 142-35 of Ellenville's Code of Ordinances requires that garbage and refuse at residential properties be collected, stored, handled, and disposed of using sanitary facilities and methods that meet the standards set by Village officials. The rule does not specify a single prescribed method but instead delegates the determination of adequacy to appropriate local authorities. This provision is intended to ensure that waste management practices do not create health or safety hazards within the Village.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 142-35, property owners and managers are generally expected to provide and maintain garbage and refuse facilities that Village officials would consider adequate and sanitary. Compliant operators typically ensure that containers are sufficient in number and condition, that waste is stored in a manner that prevents spillage or pest attraction, and that disposal occurs through approved methods. Because adequacy is determined by Village officials, operators may benefit from staying informed about any local guidance or inspections related to this provision.

Section 142-35 gives tenants a basis to raise concerns when garbage or refuse facilities at their residence appear inadequate or unsanitary. Tenants who believe this provision is not being met may consider contacting the appropriate Village of Ellenville officials, who hold authority under this section to evaluate whether facilities and methods are sufficient. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing law can also help residents understand how this type of provision interacts with broader habitability standards.
