§ 13-17. Dumpster location.  


Latest version.
  • All dumpsters and any associated screening consisting of combustible fencing around the dumpster pad shall have a minimum separation from the nearest building or building overhang of ten feet. Larger commercial/industrial dumpsters, such as 20- or 40-yard containers, shall require a larger separation. This minimum separation may be reduced or waived if the dumpster is protected by one or more fire sprinkler heads of a sprinkler system designed in accordance with sound engineering practices. Compactor dumpsters, or other combustible storage because of a unique design and construction requirement, shall be reviewed on an individual basis by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
