Sec. 15-25. Removal of ashes, trash, garbage, etc.[149]
All ashes, glass, kitchen garbage consisting in whole or
in part of foodstuff, tin cans and other damp garbage must
be drained and placed in a nonleaking metal container, with
a close-fitting top, of not over thirty gallons capacity.
Dry trash, such as paper, old cartons, weeds, leaves, brush
or brush trimmings, may be placed in the same containers
or may be placed in baskets or boxes, if the material is secured
so as to prevent the trash from being blown therefrom.
Newspapers and magazines may be bundled and tied.
Such receptacles or bundles shall be placed along the edge
of the sidewalk area on such days and at such hours as may
be prescribed in rules and regulations issued by the city
manager.
All such receptacles, unless installed below the ground, shall
be removed by the owner from the sidewalk area and taken
behind the building setback line within a reasonable time
after being emptied.
Factory cuttings, trade wastes or rejected building materials
will not be removed by the city. They may be hauled
to the city dump by the property owner or his agent.
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. Any
such regulations, after approval by the city council, shall have
the force and effect of an ordinance. (Code 1959, § 15-26.)
