(a) Municipal solid waste shall be placed in storage containers as set forth in Section 1082.07. Such waste shall be drained free of liquids. Solid waste in bulk form or stored under a roof or covering is exempt from this provision.
(b) Before being placed in storage containers, garbage shall be wrapped in paper, plastic or other similar material.
(c) Items separated for recycling purposes shall be rinsed and drained of food particles.
(d) Excessive numbers of insects and rodent vectors shall be minimized around the location of storage containers by appropriate controls in order that vectors do not constitute a nuisance to neighboring properties or a health hazard.
(e) Before being stored, rubbish shall be placed in storage containers or cut and baled, tied, bundled, stacked or packaged so as not to exceed thirty-six inches in length and fifty pounds in weight, where such rubbish is to be collected and lifted by human rather than mechanical methods. However, this requirement shall not apply to recyclable materials stored on the ground at storage sites, provided that such materials are continually removed every thirty days.
