Dumpster Screens
The dumpster area must be screened on 3 sides using material consisting of stone, brick, block, wood or a continuous planting of evergreens.

The opening for removal of the dumpster for collection must be a minimum of 12 feet to allow for proper access when it is serviced. For every dumpster added, an additional 10 feet in width is needed.

Whenever screening material is placed around any dumpster, 2 fixed barrier guardposts must be in place.

All dumpster enclosures shall be approved by the Division of Solid Waste prior to construction.

For more information and building specifications about enclosures, please send email.
