1. Every owner, tenant, or occupant of any premises where garbage is created shall provide upon such premises, in a suitable place, one or more galvanized metal garbage receptacles, with tightfitting galvanized metal cover, for receiving and holding all garbage created upon such premises between the times of collection and removal. Every owner, tenant, or occupant of any premises where waste matter is created shall, where necessary, in addition to the garbage receptacle, provide upon such premises in a suitable place, one or more receptacles, or depositories, acceptable to the superintendent of the waste removal department, to contain all waste matter which may accumulate upon such premises between removals. All persons must at all times locate such receptacles at places, so as to be readily accessible for removing and emptying the same, but they shall not be placed within the limits of any street or alley within the corporate limits of the city, or anywhere so as to constitute a nuisance.

2. All empty receptacles must be removed from the street as soon as practicable after being emptied, and in every case must be removed from the street the same day they are emptied.

3. Paper or plastic bags manufactured for the purpose of garbage disposal of a type, quality and size approved by the city may be used. (Ord. 20 §9, amended, 1970)
