At all locations where residence, dwelling, commercial and industrial units exist, garbage shall be drained to remove its liquid content, and, after drainage, wrapped or packaged in such a manner as will eliminate odor, and may then be placed in the rubbish and waste material containers as provided in this chapter, for removal and disposition in the same manner as rubbish and waste material. If the person or persons having charge or control of any premises where residence, dwelling, commercial and industrial units exist choose not to drain and wrap the garbage in the manner described in this section, then such person or persons shall place and keep all garbage which accumulates on such premises in an approved receptacle, each of which shall be watertight and shall have a tight-fitting cover, and suitable handles on the outside thereof for the lifting of the receptacle and its contents. Such covers shall be kept upon each of the receptacles at all times, except when the receptacle is being filled or while the receptacle is being emptied. [Prior code § 11.08.080.]
