It shall be the duty of every person in possession of any premises to cause all garbage produced on the premises to be thoroughly drained of all surplus liquid, securely wrapped or bagged in paper or packed in a covered box or carton of such dimensions as will permit its free passage into and out of the waste container. Materials of every character shall be securely wrapped or bound in such a manner as may be necessary to prevent the scattering of the same. (1978 Code § 9-2-2-5)
