Section 106-29 of Fishkill's Code of Ordinances establishes comprehensive standards for how refuse must be stored, collected, and disposed of within mobile home parks. The rule requires that all waste be kept in sealed, rodent-proof containers placed within 175 feet of any home site, collected at least weekly, and transported in covered vehicles. If standard municipal or private disposal services are unavailable, the park management must arrange alternatives such as incineration at a minimum of 1,250°F or transport to a Dutchess County Department of Health–approved disposal site.

Operators of mobile home parks in Fishkill should be familiar with § 106-29, which sets out specific operational requirements for refuse management. Compliant park management typically ensures that enough flytight, watertight, rodentproof containers of at least 20-gallon capacity are provided, that collection stands are in place to prevent tipping and spillage, and that refuse is collected at least weekly. When municipal or private collection or disposal services are not available, management is generally expected to arrange alternative compliant methods, including approved incineration or transport to a Dutchess County Department of Health–approved site.
