(a) Unless specifically stated otherwise for a particular zoning district, all refuse shall be placed in closed, rigid, vermin-proof containers. In the case of townhouses, multi-family dwellings and nonresidential buildings, all refuse receptacles shall be effectively screened from the view of the residents and from public streets and sidewalks by means of a fence, wall or plantings. All such refuse receptacles shall be placed on the property responsible for such refuse.
(b) Where a C Commercial District or an SC Shopping Center District abuts a residential district, all trash and refuse containers and trash dumpsters shall be placed on the commercial property a minimum of 20 feet from the property line, and all such receptacles shall be effectively screened from the view of residents and from public streets and sidewalks by means of a fence, a wall or plantings.
