§ 25-13-107 — Refuse disposal

Colorado § 25-13-107

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 25: Public
• Art.: Recreation Land Preservation

Text

(1) All persons shall dispose of refuse in
containers which shall be provided for that purpose by operators of organized
campgrounds. Organized campground operators shall keep the grounds free of
uncontained refuse and shall provide a sufficient number of secure waterproof
containers, preferably metal, with flyproof tops for the disposal of refuse. The
containers shall be emptied as often as necessary to maintain the organized
campground free of uncontained refuse. The presence of uncontained refuse in
excess of the capacity of the containers provided shall be prima facie proof that the
numbers of containers or frequency of container emptying is inadequate and that
the operator is in violation of this subsection (1).

(2) Whenever containers for refuse are filled or are not available in
campgrounds or recreation areas, all persons shall dispose of refuse in compliance
with rules and regulations adopted by the board or operator or remove the refuse
from the area for disposal in a manner not in violation of this article.

(3) Refuse in public accommodation facilities shall be disposed in the
manner specified in such reasonable rules and regulations as may be promulgated
by the board.

(4) Food wastes normally edible to human beings may be deposited on the
surface of the ground if the quantity of such wastes does not result in an
unhealthful or unpleasant aesthetic appearance by virtue of an unreasonable time
required for decay of the waste or consumption of the waste by fauna of the area.
