It shall be the duty of every owner or occupant of any place where garbage or rubbish is created or accumulated to at all times keep or cause to be kept portable approved metal containers for the deposit therein of rubbish and garbage and except as otherwise provided, to deposit or cause to be deposited all rubbish and garbage therein. All garbage shall, before deposit in such can, be wrapped in paper or other material so as to prevent the escape of liquids therefrom. All such containers shall be watertight and not easily corrodible, rodent and flyproof, shall be equipped with handles and a close-fitted lid. Such containers shall be not less than ten (10) gallons' capacity, nor more than thirty two (32) gallons' capacity, and limited to seventy five (75) pounds in weight. The containers shall be of not less than twenty eight (28) gauge metal or the equivalent, and be hot-dipped after fabrication to assure nonleaking cans, or a can that is guaranteed by the manufacturer and so labeled to be leakproof regardless of manufacturing processes. Such lid shall not be removed except when necessary to place garbage and rubbish in such container or to take the same therefrom. Whenever garbage or rubbish is placed therein or taken therefrom, such lid shall be replaced by the person placing therein or taking therefrom such garbage or rubbish. Such containers shall be kept in a sanitary condition, with the inside and outside thereof washed at such times as to keep the same free and clean of all accumulating grease and decomposing material and so that no odor nuisance shall exist. All garbage or refuse cans shall be placed in a place accessible to the collector; provided, that in case of isolated dwellings or places of business or where reasonable access cannot be had by a truck, the cans may be kept in such places as may be agreed upon by the owner and collector, or at such place as may be designated by the Inspector. Where there is no alley entrance, such cans shall be placed on the street curb on collection days. (Ord. 363, 6-29-1961)
