<br />941.05 ACCUMULATION OF GARBAGE AND REFUSE AS NUISANCE
<br />(a) Maintenance of Business Premises Free of Refuse. The accumulation of waste, refuse,
<br />trash and other debris substances on the premises of multiple family residences and commercial
<br />establishments, especially including the trash enclosure and parking areas, greatly increases the
<br />danger of fire and spread of infections, contagious and epidemic diseases and shall constitute a
<br />public menace and nuisance. The owner, manager or occupant of any multiple family dwelling
<br />and commercial establishment, including but not limited to restaurants, retail stores and other
<br />places of business, shall keep the premises clean of refuse thrown or left on such premises by its
<br />employees, customers or passersby and prevent refuse from drifting or blowing onto adjoining
<br />premises or public rights-of-way.
<br />(b) Accumulation of Refuse. The owner, manager or occupant of multiple family and
<br />commercial premises shall provide appropriate trash containers and receptacles, which shall be
<br />placed, stored or enclosed in a clean, safe and sanitary area. Trash containers of sufficient size
<br />and number for deposit of refuse are hereby required and shall be supplied with lids or covers.
<br />Where applicable, any trash receptacle designed for and required to be located within a trash
<br />enclosure on the premises, shall be maintained entirely within and secured by functional gates. It
<br />shall be unlawful for any person owning, managing or having the control of any such premises or
<br />vacant lot within the City to permit an accumulation of rubbish to become or remain offensive,
<br />unsightly or unsafe to the public health or safety or hazardous from fire, or to deposit, keep or
<br />accumulate, or permit or cause any rubbish to be deposited, kept or accumulated, upon any
<br />property, lot or parcel of land, or any public or private place, street, lane, parking lot, or
<br />driveway. No person occupying, owning, or in control of any premises shall permit rubbish to
<br />accumulate, or to blow about in a manner which creates an unsightly appearance or a health
<br />hazard.
<br />(c) Containers. Every owner, manager or occupant of multiple family and commercial
<br />premises, in order to maintain compliance herein, that contracts for or employs a trash collection
<br />service, shall require and insure that the provider of any such container, receptacle, bin or other
<br />equipment used for the storage of commercial waste shall:
<br />(1) Place and maintain on the outside of such receptacle, bin or other equipment, in
<br />legible letters and numerals not less than one inch in height said collector's name or firm name,
<br />and telephone number, in a color contrasting to the background of the container.
