Elk Grove Municipal Code Ch. 30.90 Solid Waste Storage Space Allocation and Enclosure Design Guidelines

A. All containers located on nonresidential property and used for the storage of solid waste pending collection from an authorized hauler shall be stored inside one (1) or more enclosures designed to accommodate containers of sufficient size and quantity pursuant to the space allocation and enclosure design guidelines for solid waste referenced in subsection (B) of this section. Solid waste containers shall not be stored outside of an enclosure unless authorized by the City.

B. The City established the Space Allocation and Enclosure Design Guidelines for Solid Waste document, as may be amended by the City Manager or designee. These guidelines provide solid waste collection requirements for all developments Citywide. Integrated collection areas with recycling components assist in the reduction of waste materials. The written document provides information, resources, and requirements for designing solid waste enclosures that will be used by building occupants in new developments or significant remodels. New commercial and multifamily developments of five (5) units or more, and improvements that add thirty (30%) percent or more to the existing floor area, shall include adequate, accessible, and convenient areas for collecting, storing, and loading solid waste.

C. If the standards in this chapter conflict with the City’s Zoning Code, the Zoning Code shall prevail.
