Garbage Disposal and Snow Removal Guidelines in the Leather District
Rules and Regs! [Thanks to JD for his efforts putting this together].
Below is the city code for disposal of trash and snow in the Leather District provided City of Boston Code Enforcement:
Private Residences: Put trash out after 5pm the night before scheduled pickup. Trash must be in sealed containers or sealed bags. Plastic CVS bags or grocery store bags are NOT acceptable -- even if "tied" closed.
Do not dispose of trash in city sidewalk trash cans.
Businesses: Put trash out after 6pm, and it must be picked up by a PRIVATE TRASH DISPOSAL COMPANY. Trash must be in sealed containers or sealed bags. Dumpsters must be covered AND locked. Do not dispose of trash in city sidewalk trash cans.
Holidays: If there is a holiday, residential trash and recycling pickup will still be on the same day! Businesses can call their private trash collection company to find out about schedule changes.
Snow Removal: Snow must be cleared from the sidewalk within three hours of the end of the storm. Building owners and managers are responsible for removing the snow in front of their buildings.
You can report the Offenders! [My hope would be that this is a last resort].
Monday thru Friday call 617-635-4896 to report:
Trash not in sealed containers or sealed bags.
Trash on the street during the day.
Private or commercial trash in city sidewalk trash cans.
Snow that has not been removed.
Request that a copy of the incident report/citation be sent to you!
Sat and Sun call 617-635-4500.
Boston Code Enforcement will send an officer to inspect trash or snow, identify a responsible party, and fine offenders. You do not need to know whose trash it is, just where the trash is.
Fines for improper disposal of trash = $50 to $300
