The term GARBAGE AND REFUSE means, and includes, refuse of all kinds, both organic and inorganic, which accumulate in the ordinary operation of a household, including all putrescible wastes, animal offal, the carcasses of dead animals, and other refuse small enough to go into a 30 gallon container, but specifically excluding grass trimmings, ashes, tree branches, leaves, human excreta, sewage, and other water-carried wastes. Also excluded are all non-putrescible wastes such as rocks, earth, sand, gravel, brick, stone, plaster, wood, and other similar substances which may accumulate as a result of construction, or demolition, operations.
