The grinding of food wastes into water-carried pulp which is then transported by flushing to the household or commercial plumbing system and thence into the sanitary or combined sewer system is permissible. This process may be applied to the disposal of fresh food waste as produced in homes or commercial establishments prior to its storage in any garbage can for collection. Such waste must be properly ground or macerated and discharged with sufficient volume of water so that it will not cause stoppage of the sewer system. The throwing or placing of garbage, dead animals or waste in any manhole, catch basin, inlet, stream, pond or creek is prohibited.
