Showing ordinances that apply to Ali Molina, AZ
Ali Molina is an unincorporated community (population 61) in Pima County, Arizona. Because Ali Molina is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Pima County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The trash bin storage rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Pima County Environmental Quality regulates solid waste in unincorporated areas. Trash containers must have tight-fitting lids to prevent wildlife access (javelina, coyotes, and rodents are common). Bins should be stored behind fencing or in enclosed areas when not set out for collection day.
Pima County Code Chapter 7.21 (Solid Waste Collection and Disposal) and the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality regulate solid waste management in unincorporated areas. Residents must use containers with tight-fitting, animal-resistant lids -- this is particularly important in the Sonoran Desert where javelinas, coyotes, and pack rats frequently scatter unsecured trash. Waste haulers in unincorporated Pima County are private companies (the county does not provide curbside service directly). Containers should be placed at the curb no earlier than the evening before collection and retrieved by the evening of collection day. Between collection days, bins should be stored in a location not visible from the street where possible, though the county does not have a strict screening ordinance. HOAs in the area commonly require bins be stored behind walls or inside garages. Illegal dumping in the desert is a significant problem enforced by the Pima County Sheriffs Department and the Department of Environmental Quality.
Failure to properly contain waste resulting in litter or wildlife attraction may result in code enforcement notices. Illegal dumping carries fines up to $2,500 for a first offense and higher penalties for repeat offenses. Overflowing or unsecured containers creating a nuisance are subject to county health code enforcement.
