No garbage, rubbish or refuse of any kind shall be transported over any of the streets or alleys in the village, except in vehicles so constructed so as to prevent the dropping or falling of any part of the contents therefrom during transportation. All vehicles used in the collection of garbage, rubbish or refuse of any kind shall have a tight cover for that portion of the vehicle in which the load is contained. Such cover may be of metal or canvas or similar material and shall be so designed and constructed as to prevent odor from escaping from the garbage and flies from entering that portion of the truck where the garbage is contained. Such cover shall be closed at all times while the vehicle is in transit anywhere within the limits of the village.
