Alleys are public thoroughfares and are to be kept clear of obstructions at all times. It shall be permissible to place a garbage can, a container for incineration and yard and non-burnable refuse in an alley according to the provisions of this chapter; provided, however, that this must be done in such a way as it will not obstruct the use of the alley as a public thoroughfare at any time; and provided, that no permanent bases or foundations for such cans or containers and/or permanent incinerators will be permitted in the city alleys or streets. If such structures are to be used, they must be placed within the boundaries of the private property and immediately adjacent to the alley used by the sanitation crew for pick up service. It shall be the duty of the property owner adjacent to the alley to keep the alley clear of weeds and to prevent obstruction of the alley by overhanging shrubs and trees.
