Every person possessing or occupying any dwelling unit where waste, refuse, garbage or rubbish (including industrial waste or commercial garbage) is produced or accumulated shall provide and maintain on the premises suitable containers of sufficient capacity, and shall store therein waste accumulated during intervals between collection or disposal. Any person owning or maintaining any other premises, excepting an approved disposal site, where waste, refuse, garbage, industrial waste, commercial garbage or rubbish is produced or accumulated shall provide and maintain on the premises suitable containers of sufficient capacity, and shall store therein waste accumulated during the intervals between collection or disposal. (Ord. 689 § 7. 1990 Code § 4-3200.)

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.45.120, all garbage or commercial garbage created, produced or accumulated in or about all dwelling units, and every industrial, commercial or business structure or premises shall be removed from such premises at least weekly and disposed of at an approved disposal site. (Ord. 689 § 7. 1990 Code § 4-3201.)

No person shall create, allow, or maintain a fly nuisance; nor knowingly allow waste to become a harborage, attractant or food source for rodents, or result in the unreasonable production of odors resulting in the depreciation of adjacent property or comfortable enjoyment of life thereon. Upon knowledge of such fly nuisance, rodent infestation or unreasonable odor production, or after having received a written abatement order from the health officer, said person shall at once proceed and continue in good faith with the abatement of such fly nuisance, or control and elimination of rodents or source of unreasonable odor. (Ord. 689 § 7. 1990 Code § 4-3202.)

The health officer may, upon reasonable cause to believe that a fly, or odor, or rodent nuisance exists, investigate conditions productive of flies, fly larvae, pupae, rodents or odor. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.45.190, the health officer shall have the power while in the performance of his/her duty to enter upon any premises to discover or to inspect any thing or condition which is productive or susceptible to the production of flies, unreasonable odors or rodents. A copy of the inspection report shall be given to the owner, occupant, or operator. If he/she determines that a fly, or odor, or rodent nuisance exists he/she may issue a written order requiring abatement. (Ord. 689 § 7; amended during 2012 reformat. 1990 Code § 4-3203.)
