It shall be the duty of every tenant, lessee and occupant of every private dwelling house and of the keeper of every hotel, restaurant, eating house, boardinghouse, office, mercantile establishment, place of business or other building where rubbish will accumulate, to provide boxes, barrels or other proper receptacles to be kept on the premises sufficient to hold the rubbish which would ordinarily accumulate on such premises in one week's time, except where more frequent collection is directed by the city clerk pursuant to this chapter. All rubbish accumulating on such premises shall be placed in such boxes, barrels or other receptacles. The boxes, barrels or other receptacles shall be so placed as to be readily accessible to the collector for the removal of rubbish therefrom; provided, that in no event shall the location of such boxes, barrels or other receptacles be such as to require the collector or collectors to carry such boxes, barrels or other receptacles for a distance of more than twenty-five feet, one way. No one of such boxes, barrels or other receptacles shall have a capacity exceeding thirty gallons. The city clerk, with the approval of the mayor, shall be the exclusive judge of the sufficiency of such boxes, barrels or receptacles. (Ord. 117 § 6, 1972)
