1. In order to establish a safer work environment for a contractor’s work force, authorized city personnel, and permitted others; as well as to reduce the incidence of scattered litter at the construction site and adjoining properties, the City of Alamo hereby mandates that a properly sized debris container or containment area will be provided as part of new construction project for new structures. In regard to remodeling and/or demolition project sites, the Building Official is hereby authorized to discern on whether a debris container or debris containment area shall be required, dependent on the expected quantity and volume of building fragments and remnants from such project sites; the over-riding consideration by the Building Official will be to require such containers if it will result in a safer and healthier construction work environment and thus, minimize hazardous/littering risks. It is further declared that should a professional containment bin be desired by the contractor and/or owner of the project site, that such container shall be privately contracted with the City of Alamo’s solid waste provider. The Building Official is hereby authorized to generally provide a 24-hour notice to the contractor to provide the required debris container or containment area or else the City will impose a ‘Stop Work’ on the project until said containment measures are complied with. Violations to the terms and intent of these debris containment regulations shall be pursuant to Title 1 ‘Administration’, Chapter 4 ‘General Penalty’ provisions; and shall be enforced by the coordinated efforts between the Building Official and the City of Alamo’s Code Enforcement Officer.
