All collections of garbage and trash shall be made by or under the direction and supervision of the city. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be construed to compel the city to collect garbage or trash in city trucks or by city personnel; and the Common Council may contract with any person for the collection, transportation, or disposal of garbage and trash. All vehicles used in collecting and transporting garbage and trash shall be constructed so as to prevent any garbage or trash from leaking, spilling, or blowing upon the streets and premises in the city. Vehicles of the contracting person shall be kept clean, sanitary, and free from odor.
