(A) The occupant of every building, premises or place where garbage does or may exist shall provide himself or herself with a garbage can made of substantial galvanized iron or other nonrusting metal or plastic in which he or she shall deposit all garbage existing at the place occupied by him or her. The can shall be provided with handles and or bales and with a tight fitting cover made of the same material as the can. All garbage cans shall be water tight. They shall be of a size that can be conveniently handled by the garbage collector (not to exceed in holding capacity more than 25 gallons). All garbage cans shall be placed at the side of the street or alley way in a place that can be conveniently reached by the garbage collector on the day set for collection of same. All garbage cans shall be kept reasonably clean by the use of lye or other effective cleaner.
(B) The large metal boxes commonly known as “dumpsters” are a type of trash container, as the term is used herein. The dumpsters are, however, referred to in this section by specific name for purposes of emphasis and clarity. All garbage, waste materials, refuse, debris or other materials placed in a dumpster shall be completely contained within the dumpster. No garbage, waste materials, refuse, debris, cardboard or other materials which are not recyclables shall be placed on the ground or area around the dumpster or shall protrude from the top or sides of the dumpsters. Any recyclables that are placed outside the dumpster must be kept in a manner not to cause health hazards
