(A) General requirements.
(1) Every householder, occupant, or owner of any residence shall provide on the premises one 20-gallon can, or receive a 32-, 68-, or 95-gallon cart-container provided by the private hauler contracted by the city. Such containers must receive and contain all refuse which may accumulate between collections or other disposal.
(2) All normal accumulation of refuse shall be deposited in such containers; except that leaves, trimmings from shrubs, grass clippings, shavings, and other rubbish of similar volume and weight may be stored in closed containers not meeting the requirements of this section.
(B) Business establishments. All business establishments shall have adequate facilities for the storage and collection of garbage and rubbish. Business establishments must make use of a licensed garbage and rubbish collector, not necessarily the private hauler contracting with the city.
(C) Container requirements. Containers shall be maintained in good and sanitary condition. Any container not conforming to the specifics in the contract with the contract hauler, or having ragged or sharp edges or any defect likely to hamper or injure the person collecting the contents, shall be promptly replaced after notice by the city.
(D) Placement. Where an alley open to traffic is available, each container for premises abutting the alley shall be placed at the rear of the property, next to the alley. Where no alley exists, the container shall be placed at the front property line for collection, but it shall not be so placed before 4:00 p.m. the night before collection and shall be removed by 8:00 p.m. the day of collection.
