§ 20-11. Unauthorized use of receptacles prohibited.

(a)

It is unlawful for any person to place, or permit another to place, any garbage or trash in any receptacle at any refuse collection point or in any refuse container used in the city collection service unless the refuse is from the premises served by the container or from the premises at which the receptacle or collection point is located.

(b)

It is unlawful for any person to place or deposit, or permit another to place or deposit, prohibited refuse in containers or to put anything on the ground at these locations.

(c)

The owner or occupant of any building, house, structure or land shall cause to be removed all refuse items which are prohibited to the regular collection service and which are located, owned or deposited on the property or on the public right-of-way. Such location of these items shall be prima facie evidence that such owner or occupant failed to remove, as provided by this chapter, at his own expense, the refuse or other item or items so stored or located thereon. Removal within three days or notice by city is required.
