The problem of installing garbage containers in the yards is one of the most frequently discussed topics in the housing sector. No one will agree to live next to a garbage can, which is why it is so important to know the rules and regulations for installing garbage cans.
Basic guidelines for the installation of waste containers
When determining a parking space for garbage containers, it is necessary to take into account sanitary norms and rules. If for some reason it is not possible to comply with them, then the decision on the placement of garbage cans is made based on the wishes of the owners of the houses, as well as the adjacent territories.
According to the sanpin, the parking for garbage containers should be located at least 20 meters from houses, sports and playgrounds, and recreation areas. In difficult situations, when the area is limited, installation at 9 meters is allowed. And the maximum location from the house should not be more than 100 meters. The size of the sites must correspond to the number of containers, according to the rules - no more than 5. Also, the sites for garbage must have a convenient access for garbage disposal.
In agreement with the district administration and sanitary and epidemiological stations, they also organize places for temporary storage of waste in the residential area.
Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for living conditions in residential buildings and premises are established by sanpin 2.1.2.2645-10 (dated August 15, 2010). According to these requirements, for the installation of garbage containers, a special concrete or asphalt area must be equipped, separated by a curb or decorative fence.
Waste bins should have tight-fitting lids. Also a prerequisite is the presence of green spaces around the perimeter of the parking lot of garbage containers.
It is often impossible to move or remove the trash cans. In this case, the parking lot with garbage containers is fenced off so that garbage does not fly, or they are closed with a decorative fence so that it does not attract attention.
Where can you go for help?
Very often, disputes arise between residents of houses: where to place trash cans or where to move an inconveniently standing container. To resolve such disputes, special commissions are created. As a rule, such a commission includes a company manager and a representative of the district administration.
If you understand that garbage containers violate sanpins, and utilities ignore, then you have the right to contact Rospotrebnadzor.
