2. A resident of a section shall—

(a) maintain in a hygienic and dry condition, a receptacle for refuse within his section, his exclusive use area or on such part of the common property as may be authorized by the Trustee Board in writing;

(b) ensure that before wet domestic refuse (including food scraps, dirty containers and all nonrecyclable items) is placed in such receptacle it is securely wrapped in leak proof plastic bags that are tied or sealed, or in the case of tins or other containers, completely drained;

(c) not place garbage receptacles or plastic bags where visible from any other part of the common property or any other section. No garbage may be left outside any section, on the common property, outside a refuse area or not in the appropriate bin in the refuse area.

d) place such receptacle for refuse collection—

(i) within the area and at the times designated by the Trustee Board;

(ii) outside the main gate before 18h00 on Sunday for collection of refuse on Mondays.

(e) upon collection of the refuse, promptly return such receptacle to his section within 24 hours or other area referred to in sub-rule 2 (a).

3. The refuse bins are for domestic waste only as defined by the Joburg Council. All other waste including damaged furniture and garden tools, window panes and other sheet glass, old appliances etc. and garden cuttings must be removed from the Complex at the residents cost.

4. Building rubble and items not accepted by the contractor for the special bin must be taken by the resident to the appropriate disposal site and not left on the Complex nor dumped in the bins.
