Every tenant, lessee, owner or occupant of every private dwelling, house, multiple residence, store, motel, restaurant, and every other type of property in the city which accumulates garbage on such premises must have garbage service provided by a licensed hauler. Garbage and refuse at any commercial establishment or multiple dwelling must be disposed of at least once each week by a licensed garbage hauler and as often as once each business day if necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. It is unlawful to accumulate or permit to accumulate any garbage on any property in the city which might constitute a nuisance by reason of appearance, odor, sanitation, possible littering of neighboring properties, littering of the property on which the garbage is accumulated, or a fire hazard. Residents may share garbage service provided it does not create a nuisance (as defined in Chapter 94 of this code). Proof of proper disposal must be provided upon request of the city. Residents who are away from their property for extended periods of time and not accumulating garbage at that property may suspend or cancel garbage service during that time.
