Under the proposal, businesses would have to put their trash in cans or dumpsters instead of leaving it outside in bags, which city officials said at the meeting has become an issue.

“There’s been a lot of complaints around businesses, etc., around town,” City Manager Dan Creighton said. “This is a quality of life issue, and the updates would mandate that commercial food service establishments dispose of their refuse in trash cans instead of bags, and requires the same establishments to arrange for correction every day that they operate.”
