This is an area which becomes very difficult to resolve, in any sort of formal manner. In my previous complex we insisted that the Council provided individual bins for each unit, as the bylaw made each resident responsible for putting their bin out for collection and returning it afterward. The Council were after all charging us the same amount per unit for garbage removal as a separate house in the street. There were some residents who had difficulty through disability, but we made informal arrangements to assist them. (on a voluntary basis).
I can’t see how you can bring compulsion into this by amending the bylaw to make anyone responsible for anything other than their own rubbish. It can become very expensive to hire some-one just to put in or take out bins, especially if they have to attend the property at additional times outside their normal roster.
