In the interest of public health and welfare, the dumping of garbage, organic or animal or human refuse, including metallic and flammable rubbish, but excluding ashes, stone and earth, on the ground is specifically prohibited in all districts, except for the purposes of residential, non-commercial composting or gardening in compliance with accepted composting practices and regulations. Applications to bury garbage, organic or animal or human refuse which does not originate on the property, on any land in the City shall be referred to the Board of Building and Zoning Appeals and can be approved only after public hearing and due consideration of the effect of the water supply in adjoining properties, geology of the underlying strata and effect on properties fronting on roads or highways converging on the burying ground over which such refuse would be hauled.
