The accumulation of garbage, rubbish, junk and other deleterious substances on the premises of private residences, commercial institutions and in streets and alleys constitutes a public menace and nuisance and greatly increases the danger of the spread of infectious, contagious and epidemic diseases, and it is imperative and urgent for the preservation of health, safety, sanitation, peace and public welfare that proper and adequate regulations be adopted to require property owners, tenants, occupants or lessees to secure containers and receptacles of sufficient size and material in which to deposit garbage and trash for collection and removal at regular intervals.
