(A) Residential solid waste containers will be provided by the city and shall be kept closed and all of the contents shall be protected so that the wind cannot blow out and scatter the contents over the streets, alleys or property within the city. All refuse shall be placed in garbage bags and the bags must be securely fastened at the opening, and all boxes and containers must be sealed in such a fashion that no refuse can fall, blow away, or leak out. No other residential containers are allowed for dumping.
(B) Garbage shall be placed in containers provided by the city and no family unit shall place garbage in any city provided container without having drained off the moisture and placed it in plastic garbage bags or wrapped it in paper to avoid odor and freezing to the garbage can. Ashes must be cold before being placed in any garbage container. All rubbish shall be placed in sufficiently strong containers to adequately hold and confine such waste materials. Materials stuck in the garbage can are the responsibility of the homeowner to get unstuck. Sanitation workers shall not be responsible for picking up garbage which has been strewn about or not in proper containers.
