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.
North Collins Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-45 establishes two related requirements for residential properties. First, all garbage and refuse must be collected, stored, handled, and disposed of using adequate sanitary facilities and methods. Second, in buildings with multiple dwelling units, garbage and refuse may not be stored or allowed to accumulate in shared hallways or stairways.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 103 § 103-45, compliant operators of residential properties generally ensure that appropriate containers and sanitary methods are in place for every stage of waste handling, from collection through disposal. For those managing multiple dwellings, this means actively preventing tenants or others from leaving garbage or refuse in common areas such as hallways and stairways. Routine inspections of shared spaces and clear communication with residents about proper waste disposal practices are typical elements of a compliant waste management approach.

Section 103-45 of the North Collins Code of Ordinances gives residents a basis to expect that their building's waste management meets sanitary standards and that shared hallways and stairways remain free of accumulated garbage or refuse. If these conditions are not being met, tenants may consider documenting the issue and raising it with the local code enforcement or housing authority in North Collins. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options are generally available when a landlord fails to maintain sanitary conditions under this provision.
