It is unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to deposit, throw, or place swill or other refuse matter in a lane, alley, street, or other public place, or to deposit, throw, or place any swill upon any property, regardless of ownership, unless the swill is enclosed in vessels or tanks of type approved by the Utility Service Supervisor, and which are perfectly watertight and have tightly fitting covers, which covers shall not be removed, except when absolutely necessary for the depositing and removal of swill. Such vessels or tanks shall be kept in the rear of the premises or in the basement, or other place authorized by the Utility Service Supervisor, so as to be readily accessible for collection and shall not be kept upon the street, alley, or sidewalk or public place. All such tanks or vessels shall be promptly delivered to the collector when called for and shall be returned by him without unnecessary delay, and no person, except for the purpose of collection under license, shall in any manner interfere with the vessels or tanks or with contents thereof. Swill, offal, and other liquid or semi-liquid waste may not be placed in dumpsters or containers handled by the collector of refuse without permission of the collector of garbage and the Utility Service Supervisor. (Ord. 2736, 11/11/14; Ord. 2298, 3/27/07; Ord. 2157, 3/23/04)
