The franchise holder shall use for the collection of garbage (defined as food waste and other items which quickly and easily decompose, becoming noxious and/or a health hazard), an enclosed container in a leak-proof truck or trailer equipped so as to compress and pack the garbage so collected. Equipment used solely for the collection of trash and debris other than garbage, as herein defined, shall be enclosed so as not to scatter and disburse said trash and debris, using the smallest truck to perform said service. The contractor shall empty all waste from the containers and return the containers upright to the curb with the lids secured tightly. In the event of any spillage, the contractor shall immediately clean up the waste. The franchise holder shall maintain all dumpsters in a sanitary condition and in a clean and neat outward appearance.
