(A) Refuse containers. Every person producing or having garbage, rubbish, ashes or refuse collected by the city shall place all such materials in a refuse container which shall be provided by and maintained by the city. The City Manager shall have the authority to refuse collection services should containers be provided by the owner, tenant, lessee or occupant of the premises.
(B) Number of refuse containers. Single residences shall be limited to no more than one rollcart container; multiple residences shall be limited to one such container per dwelling unit.
(C) Materials to be placed in containers. Garbage, rubbish, ashes and bulk refuse must be placed in a container, and no separation of the matter is necessary; provided, however, that bulk refuse, excluding grass trimmings, of a size or quantity too large to be placed in containers may be placed at the front of the premises in the grass strip between the street and the sidewalk where said strips are available; otherwise, they shall be placed off that portion of the street right-of-way normally used by vehicles, pedestrians or for surface drainage. Tree limbs shall not be longer than six feet in length, nor weigh more than 50 pounds.
(D) Other limitations. No person shall throw, dispose of or sweep from any household, yard, sidewalk or elsewhere, any garbage, rubbish, ashes, dirt, refuse or similar matter into a storm drain, manhole, gutter, center strip or onto a sidewalk or street, but shall deposit the same as herein specified.
