The general contractor of any construction site shall provide adequate trash containment facilities for the construction site. All such trash containment facilities must be able to hold a minimum of five cubic yards of refuse, and must contain no openings of greater than three inches. The trash containment facility must be in place no later than at the time of the first required inspection of the site by the city, or its authorized representative. The trash containment facility shall be emptied on a regular basis. If the city received a complaint regarding a trash containment facility at a construction site, the city, or its authorized representative, shall notify the general contractor, in writing, regarding the complaint, and shall request that efforts be undertaken by the general contractor to remedy the situation. If subsequent complaints are received by the city pertaining to the same construction site, the city, or its authorized representative, shall provide the general contractor with written notice that the general contractor has three working days in which to remedy the situation. If the general contractor does not remedy the situation within that time, it shall be considered a violation of this chapter, and shall be punishable pursuant to § 52.99(B). In addition, the city, or its authorized representative, shall cease all inspections until the construction site complies with this section.
