In our jurisdiction, such requirements are subject to the adopted local ordinances, and are not found in a building code. As ICE mentioned, the health dept may have some thoughts on it as well, if it poses a health risk. We have revoked occupancy in conjunction with our local law enforcement, health department and child welfare agencies due to a lack of garbage disposal.

I don't think the op is about taking out the trash.

Thanks ICE. yes, you are right. I don't think much, but when I do...I clearly need to do it better. *off to refill the old coffee cup*
 
Here in Communist California there is a movement to ban garbage disposals, cities like San Francisco are putting small containers in one of the garbage recycling bins to force people to put food scraps into the small containers to go to a central composting facility. There was a lot of opposition when they proposed a first offense $50 fine if people's composting container was empty, Green Police snooping into people's garbage.

Yet another reason that California needs an earthquake!
 
This thread went from garbage disposal to disposal of garbage to communism to conservation to color to food to global warming to..................

Gotta love this forum!!! :)
 
Just like the weather here in Texas. If you don't like the weather here in Texas...just wait a minute...it will change! :)
 
But if we outlaw garbage disposals and fine those who don't put their food scraps in a composting bin, who better to snoop through garbage cans and issue the citations than building inspectors? In San francisco the garbage me didn't want to do it.
