(Ord. 689 § 7. 1990 Code § 4-3300.)

Places, areas, or structures where putrescible waste is allowed to accumulate shall be provided with such design and construction so as to allow adequate cleaning and drainage, and shall be provided with adequate access for removal of such waste. (Ord. 689 § 7. 1990 Code § 4-3301.)

No person shall permit or allow putrescible waste resulting from the keeping or maintaining of animals to produce flies, fly larvae or pupae, or to serve as food for rodents, or to produce unreasonable odors. Each person shall: (a) follow such procedure as to the handling and disposal of such waste as is recommended in writing to any such person by the health officer; or (b) remove such waste from the premises and dispose of it at an approved disposal site at least once weekly, except where circumstances and conditions occurring on other than the premises of any such person make such removal impractical or impossible; provided, however, that if the health officer finds a fly, or rodent or odor nuisance therein, he/she may order the person to apply or use any other procedure provided for in this section.
