Sec. 55. Removal of trash, garbage, ashes, etc., by the
city.
Such trash, garbage, ashes, etc., as the city elects to remove
shall be separated, by the citizens desiring to dispose of same, into
two classes, one of burnable matter such as trash, garbage, tin
cans, etc., and the other of non-burnable materials, such as ashes,
old metal, glass, etc. Each shall be placed in separate non-leaking
receptacles, which shall not be filled within four inches of the top
and placed along the edge of the sidewalk on such days and at such
hours as may be prescribed in rules and regulations issued by the
city manager.
All such receptacles shall be removed from the sidewalk by the
owner thereof as soon as emptied.
The city manager is hereby empowered to adopt and put into
force such rules and regulations governing the removal of ashes,
garbage and trash as he may deem necessary. And such regulation
after approval by the council shall have the force and effect
of an ordinance.
Any person violating this section or any regulation which may
be prescribed shall be fined not less than one dollar nor more than
five dollars for each offense. (Id., § 174.)
