Parma Property Maintenance Code requires trash containers to be stored out of public view between collection days, behind the front building line of the house. Containers must have tight-fitting lids and be rodent-proof. Visible curbside storage between pickups violates CO Chapter 1341.
Parma adopts the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) with local amendments in Codified Ordinance Chapter 1341. IPMC §308 governs rubbish and garbage storage. Residents must keep containers behind the front plane of the dwelling except on collection day. Overflowing or uncovered containers that attract vermin constitute a public nuisance. Commercial dumpsters require screening per zoning code.
First notice: 10 days to correct. Continued violation: minor misdemeanor up to 150 dollars per Parma CO 501.99, with each day a separate offense.
