No owner or occupant of any public or private premises shall permit to accumulate upon their premises any garbage or refuse except in covered containers approved by the Public Works Supervisor or Mayor or other designated officer. Such containers shall be strong, not easily corrodible, rodent- proof, with two handles, a capacity of not more than 30 gallons, with tight covers, which shall be in place at all times except when depositing or removing garbage therefrom. Such containers shall be maintained in a sanitary condition at all times and shall be kept in a rack or device as to prevent them from being overturned by animals. In the event that garbage and one or more types of refuse are disposed of separately, separate containers must be had if required by the Public Works Supervisor, the Mayor or by order of the City Council. Boxes, papers, tree cuttings and all odd articles shall be crushed and/or bundled in lengths no to exceed five feet and not to exceed 50 pounds in weight, except articles taken in special hauls.
