(1) The compost pile must be screened from view of the public right-of-way and adjacent properties.
(2) The compost pile must be kept in a container constructed of wood, wire, mesh, concrete block or a combination thereof, or in a commercially available compost bin designed for composting organic waste.
(3) The compost pile must be managed so as to prevent the scattering of yard wastes or other material.
(4) The compost pile must be managed in a manner to prevent odor, harborage of animals and the stockpiling of material which does not readily decompose within a calendar year.
(5) Only the yard waste and putrescible food wastes which are produced on the premises may be composted on the premises.
(B) Off-site composting. Yard and putrescible food wastes may be brought off-site to a privately- or publicly-owned composting site.
(C) Disposal of other wastes. No person shall throw or place any solid waste, hazardous waste, construction debris, recyclable material, yard waste or other debris in any ditch, stream, river or retention basin that regularly or periodically carries surface water runoff. Any person who deposits any of the above shall remove it or cause it to be removed immediately.
