No person, company or corporation shall deposit, dump or cause to be dumped or deposited upon any street, lot or lands within City and County of San Francisco or in any water or waterways within said City and County, or from any wharf or bulkhead on the waterfront of said City and County, except as hereinafter provided, any house refuse, butchers' offal, garbage, refuse, dirt, ashes, cinder, sludge, broken glass, crockery, tins, bones, rubbish or other like matter or any dead animals (not otherwise provided for by contract or franchise heretofore granted by the City and County), or putrid or stinking animal or vegetable matter or fish, flesh and food condemned by the Director of Public Health as unfit for human food.
No commercial establishment, dwelling, householder or other person or entity shall store or place out for collection any refuse that is subject to putrefaction and any other refuse destined for disposal unless it is contained or secured to prevent pets and other animals from gaining access to its contents and to prevent its dispersal by the wind or other elements. All refuse other than cardboard boxes that are destined for disposal and all putrescible refuse must be placed in suitable metal or solid plastic receptacles. Plastic bags not otherwise contained in metal or solid plastic receptacles shall not in themselves constitute suitable receptacles. The contents of suitable receptacles for putrescible refuse and refuse destined for disposal shall not extend above the top or rim thereof, and shall be contained by tight-fitting lids or sealed enclosures. Cardboard boxes need not be contained provided they are emptied, flattened, and tied into bundles of sufficient size to prevent their dispersal by the wind.

No commercial establishment, dwelling, householder or other person or entity, including the City and County of San Francisco, shall place out for regular refuse collection any construction and demolition debris. Unless otherwise required by Chapter 14 of the Environment Code or acceptable in an on-site residential or commercial recycling or composting collection program, construction and demolition debris must be disposed of at a construction and demolition debris facility registered pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Environment Code. For purposes of this section, construction and demolition debris means building materials and solid waste generated by construction and demolition activities, including but not limited to: fully-cured asphalt, concrete, brick, rock, soil, lumber, gypsum wallboard, cardboard and other associated packaging, roofing material, ceramic tile, carpeting, fixtures, plastic pipe, metals, tree stumps, and other vegetative matter resulting from land clearing and landscaping for construction, deconstruction, demolition or land developments. Construction and demolition debris does not include any refuse regulated under the 1932 Refuse Collection and Disposal Initiative Ordinance or sections of the Municipal Code that implement the provisions of that ordinance. Hazardous waste, as defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 25100 et seq., as amended, is not construction and demolition debris for purposes of this section.
