It is hereby declared to constitute a nuisance for owners or operators of cotton gins to permit hulls, waste matter or rubbish resulting from the ginning of cotton to accumulate in, on or around any premises upon which there is operated a cotton gin. The owners and operators of cotton gins shall remove from such premises all hulls, rubbish and other waste matter resulting from the ginning of cotton and keep such premises free from any accumulations thereof. Such waste matter as shall accumulate on the premises as a result of the operating of a cotton gin shall be hauled off or removed, while the gin is in actual operation, and not exceeding 20 cubic yards shall be allowed to accumulate on the premises at any one time. In no case shall the same be allowed to accumulate to such an extent as to create or cause a danger of fire. It shall be unlawful for the operator of any gin to burn, or permit to be burned on or around such premises or at any other place within the city limits, any such hulls or waste matter; provided, however, that such hulls and waste matter may be burned off in the furnace of such gin if the smokestack is properly screened.
