(a) Pad Required. A large trash collection facility shall be situated in a permanent location and placed on a concrete or asphalt pad maintained free of cracks, ruts or excessive deterioration. A dumpster pad shall be of a size which will allow the dumpster to sit entirely on the pad and permit the loading wheels of a trash disposal truck to rest on the pad while emptying said dumpster.
(b) Location and Screening of Large Trash Collection Facilities. Large trash collection facilities (dumpsters) shall be screened on all sides from all adjoining properties by an enclosure structure. Such trash collection facilities may not be located in the front yard unless screened by a rigid fence and gate on all sides and no other options for where to place such an enclosure in the side or rear yard exists. Enclosures may be a fence, masonry wall, dense evergreen plantings or landscaping, or any other material approved by the Zoning Inspector.
(c) Maintenance. All trash collection facilities shall be properly emptied and maintained so as to prevent spillage of debris and trash, as provided for herein, and all materials shall be confined within the trash collection facility. Any trash collection facilities or screening mechanisms which deteriorate in any way shall be promptly repaired.
