(A) The occupant of every building, premises or place where garbage does or may exist shall be provided with a garbage receptacle in which the occupant shall deposit all garbage existing at the place occupied by occupant. If the occupant needs additional garbage receptacle(s), the occupant shall contact the administrative office requesting the number needed. Receptacles are the property of the town and shall not be removed if the occupant vacates the premises. All garbage shall be placed in trash bags and tied or fastened securely before being placed in receptacles and all garbage receptacles shall be placed where they can be conveniently reached by the garbage collector (see § 51.08). Garbage receptacles shall be appropriately placed by 6:00 a.m. on the morning designated as the pick-up day at the occupant’s location and shall be promptly removed to the back or side yard of that location after having been emptied by the garbage collector (see § 51.08). All receptacles shall be kept reasonably clean by the use of lye or other effective cleaners.
(B) Violations shall subject the offending property owner and/or tenant to a civil penalty to be recovered by the city in a civil action in the nature of debt if the offender does not pay the penalty within 30 days after he has been cited for violation of the ordinance, and may be enforced by an appropriate equitable remedy including but not limited to injunctions and orders of abatement issued from a court of competent jurisdiction as outlined in § 51.99.
(C) Each day's continuing violation shall be a separate and distinct offense, and is subject to penalties as outlined in § 51.99.
