For residential property of three living units or fewer, a dumpster placed on private property for the purpose of disposal of any solid or liquid waste material and at least 10 cubic yards in size may be kept on the property no longer than 60 days from the date of the dumpster's delivery. If a dumpster is placed on private property in conjunction with a construction project that has an approved building permit, the dumpster must be removed within 15 days of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy or final inspection. The dumpster must be located on private property and not on the public highway or on the Town's property.
For residential property of more than three living units and all commercial/industrial property, a dumpster placed on private property for the purpose of disposal of any solid or liquid waste material and at least 10 cubic yards in size shall be shielded on three sides by a fence, or similar barrier, so that the dumpster is not visible from any Town or private roadway by passing vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Only one entrance or access to the dumpster will be permitted, with the other three sides sufficiently shielded from view. The dumpster must be located on private property and not on the public highway or on the Town's property.

Be in writing, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested;
Be served upon the owner or the owner's agent and the occupant, provided that such notice shall be deemed to be properly served upon such owner or agent, or upon such occupant, if a copy thereof is posted in a conspicuous place in or about the dwelling affected by this notice or if such person is served with such notice by any other method authorized or required under the laws of this state;
Any person notified in accordance with this section who fails to correct any violation of this chapter by the date specified in said notice shall be in violation of this chapter and subject to its penalties and enforcement provisions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the First Selectman or his designee may elect to first provide informal verbal notice to the owner or owner's agent and the occupant of the property in an attempt to resolve the matter prior to formal written notice being sent.
