Cal. Civ. Code § 5:10-9.2
Materials requiring separate disposal
Operative Text
(a) Disposal of materials not fitting into or appropriate for receptacles, such as newspapers, wrapping paper and other inorganic wastes which are likely to be blown or scattered about the streets, shall be secured to prevent littering. (b) Other objects and material, which because of bulk or size do not fit into receptacles, shall be placed out for collection only at such places as are designated for that purpose and at such times as shall assure their prompt removal by the collection service available to the building.
N.J.A.C. § 5:10-9.2 addresses how oversized or loose waste materials must be handled when they cannot fit into standard trash receptacles. Materials like newspapers and wrapping paper that could blow around must be secured to prevent littering. Bulky items that are too large for receptacles must be placed only at designated collection spots and only at times that allow for their prompt pickup by the available collection service.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under N.J.A.C. § 5:10-9.2, compliant building operators generally ensure that loose, lightweight waste materials are bundled or otherwise secured so they cannot scatter in the wind. For oversized or bulky items, operators typically identify the designated collection areas for their building and communicate pickup schedules to residents so that large items are set out at the correct time and place. Maintaining clear written guidance for tenants about bulk-item disposal procedures is a common practice for staying in compliance with this provision.

N.J.A.C. § 5:10-9.2 establishes that buildings must have proper systems in place for disposing of materials that do not fit standard receptacles, including designated areas and scheduled collection times for bulk items. If a building lacks designated bulk-item collection areas or fails to provide guidance on when and where to place oversized waste, that may represent a condition worth raising with building management or a local housing inspector. Tenant-rights organizations and New Jersey's local code enforcement offices can provide general information about how this provision is applied and what remedies may be available.
