The London Government Order 1965

Dustbins for trade refuse

25.—(1) The council of an inner London borough may by notice require the occupier of any building within the borough, in respect of which they remove trade refuse or have been requested to remove trade refuse, to provide such number of covered dustbins for the reception of trade refuse of such material, size and construction as the council may approve. Any person aggrieved by a requirement of the council under this paragraph may appeal to a magistrates' court.

(2) Subsection (2) of section 75 of the Public Health Act 1936 shall apply to a notice under paragraph (1) as it applies to a notice under subsection (1) of the said section 75.

(3) The council of an inner London borough may, in lieu of requiring the occupiers of buildings to provide and maintain dustbins for the reception of trade refuse, undertake themselves to provide and maintain such dustbins as may be necessary, and, so long as such an undertaking is in force, the council may, if they think fit, make in respect of each dustbin provided by them such annual charge of reasonable amount as they may determine but not exceeding, in the case of a dustbin having a capacity not exceeding 3¼ cubic feet, the limit for the time being applicable, by virtue of section 8(3) of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1953, in respect of a dustbin provided under section 75(3) of the Public Health Act 1936. Such charge shall become due and shall be recoverable in the same manner as the charge provided for by section 75(3) of the Public Health Act 1936.
