Newark CO Chapter 1860 (Solid Waste Collection and Disposal) and the Property Maintenance Code govern residential trash storage. Containers must be covered, vermin-proof, and stored to prevent leakage; hazardous waste removal must follow Ohio Department of Health directives.
Section 1860.04 (Disposal of Solid Waste) requires solid waste to be hauled in vehicles or containers that are securely covered with a tarpaulin or otherwise constructed to prevent contents from being blown, dropped, sifted, or leaked. Hazardous waste removal follows Ohio Director of Health and Newark Health Commissioner directives. The Property Maintenance Code (Ch. 1448, IPMC §308) requires owner-occupants and tenants to maintain rodent-proof, leakproof, water-tight containers, store them on the property (not in front yards), and place them at the curb only for pickup. Residential pickup is provided by Waste Management and Republic Services depending on contract.
Section 1860 and Ch. 1448 violations are charged under §698.02 - typically a fourth-degree misdemeanor (up to $250) with each day a separate offense.
