Evans, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 158 § 158-56 establishes a shared responsibility for waste disposal in residential properties.

In buildings with three or more dwelling units, the owner bears the additional obligation of providing adequate containers for that waste.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 158 § 158-56, owners of buildings with three or more dwelling units are expected to supply sufficient rubbish and garbage containers to serve all occupants. Compliant operators typically ensure containers are appropriately sized, in good repair, and accessible so that tenants can fulfill their own disposal obligations. Maintaining documentation of container provision and condition can support a showing of compliance with this provision.

Section 158-56 of Evans's housing code places a direct obligation on occupants to properly dispose of rubbish, garbage, and any materials that could become a health, accident, or fire hazard. If a landlord of a three-or-more-unit building fails to provide adequate containers, that shortfall may be relevant to a code-enforcement complaint filed with the appropriate local authority.
