For the purpose of this subchapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
ASHES. The solid waste products of burning, including any unburned residue of the material being burned. Burning or attempting to burn a material otherwise having another definition hereunder, such as garbage, refuse, rubbish, or junk, shall not preclude the same from also being subject to such other classification.
GARBAGE. All putrescible wastes, including vegetable wastes, animal offal, and carcasses of dead animals, but excluding by-products of fish processing which are disposed of pursuant to a permit for the disposal thereof in a manner other than as herein provided or are otherwise disposed of in a clean and sanitary manner not otherwise contrary to law.

Any item which has been abandoned or is otherwise no longer used or usable, including but not limited to appliances, such as stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers, televisions, washers and dryers, automobiles outside of an enclosed structure and in an inoperable condition for a period of 72 hours or more, parts of automobiles, mechanical parts and devices, and items of a similar nature. Any such items shall not be considered JUNK hereunder, however, if stored within an enclosed structure.
RUBBISH. All non-putrescible waste materials, which are abandoned, discarded, or otherwise no longer used or no longer usable, including but not limited to rags, paper, cartons, boxes, bottles, cans, wood (except firewood which has been cut and stacked), lumber (except lumber stored during the course of construction pursuant to a valid and current building permit), brush, limbs, tree branches, yard trimmings, furniture, bedding, metals, dirt, glass, crockery, plastic, construction materials, oil, paint, empty containers, mechanical parts, or other similar materials or waste or scrap.
