Suitable cans or containers for the deposit and storage of garbage shall be provided and maintained on all premises used for residential or business purposes or for any activity which causes the accumulation or production of garbage. All garbage shall be deposited in such containers, except that stiff paper products and wood waste material, not susceptible to putrefaction or to blowing so as to cause litter, may be stored outside of cans or containers if neatly and orderly stored. Such cans and containers shall be strong, watertight, corrosion-resistant, rodent and insect proof, and of not more than thirty-five (35) gallon capacity. Each can shall have handles at both sides and a tight-fitting lid which shall be kept tightly closed except when the can is being emptied or filled. Cans shall be placed so as to be accessible to commercial garbage haulers. (Prior code § 4.020)
