It shall be the duty of every tenant, lessee or occupant of every dwelling, tenement house, lodging house, hotel, restaurant, boarding house or other person on whose premises kitchen and household garbage collects, to provide, and at all times to keep within such building, or on the premises, garbage containers sufficient to hold all kitchen and household garbage which may accumulate on the premises between collections, such containers to be watertight, and with a tight fitting cover, and equipped with suitable handles, which containers shall be placed at all times so as to be readily accessible for removal and emptying, and where they shall not be a public nuisance. No person, unless authorized and licensed for that purpose, as hereinafter specified, shall interfere with such containers or the contents thereof. All other refuse and ashes or cinders shall be placed in a separate covered receptacle, said receptacle to be small enough that one man can easily handle it. Said receptacles may not be placed in any alley or street, but must be readily accessible for emptying and removal, but in any event they shall not be placed in a position that they would become a public nuisance. All such garbage, ashes or cinders and other refuse shall be removed once each week. (1968 Code, sec. 41-102)
