Kan. Admin. Regs. § 28-29-22 - Standards for collection and transportation of solid wastes
(a) Frequency of
collection. Solid waste, excluding bulky wastes, shall be removed from the
storage containers on residential premises and places of public gathering in
accordance with these regulations at least once each week. Garbage and
putrescible materials shall be removed from commercial or industrial properties
as often as necessary to prevent nuisance conditions but at least once a week.
Trash and other combustible materials, free of putrescible material, shall be
removed from commercial and industrial properties as often as is necessary to
prevent overfilling of the storage facilities or the creation of fire hazards.
Bulky wastes, free of putrescible wastes, shall be removed from properties as
often as necessary to prevent nuisance conditions from occurring.
(b) Collection equipment. All vehicles and
equipment used for collection and transportation of solid waste shall be
designed, constructed, maintained, and operated in a manner that will prevent
the escape of any solid, semi-liquid, or liquid wastes from the vehicle or
container. Collection vehicles shall be maintained and serviced periodically,
and should receive periodic safety checks. Safety defects in a vehicle shall be
repaired before the vehicle is used.
(c) Solid waste shall not be stored after
collection in a collection vehicle for more than 12 hours unless the vehicle is
parked in an area in which the land use is predominately industrial or light
industrial. Solid wastes shall not be stored overnight in a collection vehicle
parked in an area in which the land use is predominantly residential.
(d) Solid wastes shall not be
unloaded from any collection vehicle unless the collection vehicle is a
satellite vehicle unloading into a larger vehicle or the unloading point is a
permitted processing facility, transfer station or disposal area, except the
unloading may be done to facilitate repairs, to extinguish a fire, or for other
emergency. When a vehicle is unloaded due to a emergency situation solid waste
shall be reloaded and removed promptly, after the emergency no longer exists.
(e) The person operating the
collection system shall provide for prompt cleanup of all spillages caused by
the collection operation.
(f) The
person operating the collection system shall provide for prompt collection of
any waste materials lost from the collection vehicles along the route to a
disposal area or processing facility.
