(A) The occupant of any premises, commercial establishment, institution or industry shall be responsible for the satisfactory storage, removal and disposal of all solid waste accumulated on the property or premises. In the case of multi-family residences of more than four (4) dwelling units, the owner or manager shall be responsible for providing for waste storage, collection and disposal.
(B) The occupant shall store solid waste on the premises or property so that storage does not constitute a public health nuisance or fire, health, or safety hazard. The waste shall be handled in such a manner so as not to promote the propagation, harborage, or attraction of vectors or other animals, or the creation of litter or other nuisances. Waste shall be drained of excess liquid and deposited promptly in storage containers. Where the collector furnishes storage containers, the collector is responsible for maintaining the container in good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, unless the containers are furnished under other terms, conditions or agreements. The owner of the container, other than for a residence, shall be prominently identified on the container in letters no smaller than two (2) inches tall. Containers shall be readily accessible for removal or emptying by the collector.

The Manager may further direct that only containers as are distributed by the city or its agents expressly for the collection of yard waste may be used for that purpose. A fee may be imposed and collected by the city or its agents for providing containers. This regulation shall not be deemed to contravene the intentions of other sections of this chapter.
(2) The Manager, through regulation, may specify which materials shall be recovered from the waste stream and collected for recycling and may direct that materials must be contained and collected separately, that is, unmixed with other types of waste. The Manager may also regulate as to types of containers to be used solely for the storage and collection of recyclables. The Manager may further direct that only containers distributed by the city or its agents expressly for the collection of recyclables may be used for that purpose. A fee may be imposed and collected by the city or its agents for providing containers. This regulation shall not be deemed to contravene the intentions of other sections of this chapter.
(3) Waste containers shall be kept covered at all times except when they are being filled or emptied. It shall be unlawful for any person to remove the cover from a waste container without replacing it.
(D) Waste shall be set out in proper containers no earlier than the night before collection days, or on collection days at places in accordance with the regulations promulgated by the Assistant to the Mayor and/or director of public works. Waste containers placed out for collection shall be promptly removed from their collection sites after they have been emptied.
