   (A)   All garbage shall be placed in either sealed water-tight bags or inside garbage containers and kept in protective storage, except leaves and grass which are to be bagged, and set to the curb or accessible alley on or shortly before pickup.
   (B)   Whenever the premises in which garbage and rubbish accumulates are adjacent to a street or alley, the garbage and rubbish containers for such premises shall be kept in a location convenient and accessible to such street or alley; if the premises are not adjacent to a street or alley, the garbage and rubbish containers shall be kept on the premises in such a location that they will be readily accessible to the nearest street or alley without being unsightly and shall not accumulate garbage beyond what any such container can handle.
   (C)   The proprietor or operator of each trailer court, duplex, apartment house, or similar multiple-family dwelling shall furnish and maintain for the use of the tenants a sufficient number of garbage containers with covers to hold all garbage and rubbish that accumulates upon such premises in the course of a week, or he or she shall require the tenants upon said premises to furnish such containers. The place where the garbage and rubbish containers are located shall be kept clean and in a sanitary condition at all times.
   (D)   Every owner or person in charge of any restaurant, hotel, grocery store, wholesale or food processing establishment or any other business or commercial place having garbage or rubbish shall furnish and provide for use in connection therewith, a garbage or refuse container.
