Milton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 132 § 132-6 establishes that every occupant of a dwelling or dwelling unit is responsible for disposing of rubbish in a clean, sanitary, and safe manner. The provision also makes the burning of rubbish unlawful, regardless of the method or location. These two requirements apply to all residential occupants within the jurisdiction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 132 § 132-6, property owners and managers generally ensure that adequate rubbish disposal infrastructure—such as bins, containers, or scheduled pickup arrangements—is available to occupants so that sanitary disposal is practicable. Compliant operators typically communicate to tenants that open burning of rubbish on the premises is prohibited by local ordinance. Maintaining clear disposal procedures and facilities helps demonstrate that the property supports compliance with this provision.

Section 132-6 of Milton's Code of Ordinances places the rubbish disposal obligation directly on occupants, meaning tenants are expected to handle waste in a clean, sanitary, and safe way and to refrain from burning rubbish. If a tenant believes inadequate facilities are making compliant disposal difficult, general enforcement paths include raising the issue with the local code enforcement office or contacting a tenant-rights organization for guidance. Tenants may also wish to document disposal conditions in writing in case the matter becomes relevant to a housing or habitability concern.
