The city council finds and determines that the storage, accumulation, collection and disposal of garbage, trash, rubbish, debris and other discarded matter, goods and material is a matter of great public concern, in that improper control of such matter creates a public nuisance, can lead to air pollution, fire hazards, insect breeding and rat infestation and other problems affecting the health, welfare and safety of the residents of this and surrounding communities. The city council further finds that the periodic collection of garbage, rubbish and other refuse from all places of business in the city benefits all occupants of businesses within the city and therefore all occupants as hereinafter defined are made liable for the payment of such fees as may be approved by the city council. The city council further declares that the regulations in this chapter are designed to eliminate or alleviate such problems.
