(A) All garbage, refuse and ashes awaiting disposal shall be placed in metal or plastic containers equipped with a tight cover, or containers such as plastic bags, which must be closed at the top and secured to prevent animal pilferage of garbage. Clean up is the responsibility of the property owner and persons occupying premises. Any container that is not a commercial dumpster used by a sanitation company shall be equipped with handles so that it may be carried by one man, and shall have a capacity of not less than ten gallons or more than 30 gallons. While storing garbage or refuse, the container shall be kept completely closed at all times.
(B) No person shall permit his or her containers to sit upon any public right-of-way unless placed there for pickup and disposal, and then shall be placed there only on the day of collection and prior to such collection. All containers shall be placed near a public road, street or at a place convenient to be picked up for disposal purposes. All containers must be removed from street site within 12 hours after collection.
(C) All dumpsters for waste disposal (other than those for temporary uses) shall be adequately screened from street view and living unit view and be fully accessible for garbage collection. Such screen shall be pleasing in design and of a substantial material, easily maintainable and sufficient to block the view from the street and living units.
