All refuse containers shall be kept tightly covered at all <br />times except when momentarily open to receive refuse or be <br />emptied. <br /> <br />g. No refuse shall be kept in containers which have become so <br />worn as to prevent tight closure of covers or the complete <br />concealment of liquid wastes. <br /> <br />h. Ashes shall be stored in metal containers having a maximum <br />capacity of twenty gallons and be kept separate from <br />garbage and rubbish. <br /> <br />Sec. 8-10 <br /> <br />Collection of refuse; curbside pick-up. <br /> <br />All refuse shall be collected by the city at regular intervals no <br />less frequently than once per week.
