(F) It shall be unlawful for any person, other than the person in possession, charge or control of any premises, his or her agents, authorized employees of the city or the franchised collector, to remove or lift the coverings of any cans, and no other person shall tamper with or remove any particle or material whatsoever from said cans.
(G) From and after the effective date of this chapter, it shall be unlawful for any person to haul, carry or dispose of garbage or refuse in the city except as in this chapter provided.
(H) No hot ashes or hot clinkers shall be placed in any garbage can or container for collection or removal. All kitchen, table, cooking, animal and vegetable waste and offal, before being deposited in garbage cans or containers as hereinbefore provided, shall be drained and wrapped in paper or other material in such a manner as to prevent, as nearly as possible, moisture from such garbage from coming in contact with sides or bottoms of the cans or containers.
