8.04.770 - Manure bins and removal of manure.

Every person owning or occupying premises where manure from any horse, pony, mule, cow, pigeon, fowl, rabbit or other animal accumulates shall provide for the removal of such manure daily. Unless all manure accumulated on any premises be removed daily, boxes, bins or receptacles of a design and construction acceptable to the health officer of the city or the chief animal control officer shall be provided by the owner or occupant of such premises, and such boxes, bins or receptacles shall be used only for the purpose of containing the accumulation of manure, which shall be placed therein or removed therefrom, and in no instance shall manure be so placed in such boxes or receptacles in such a manner as to prevent the tight closing of the lid; provided, however, that nothing contained in this section shall apply to manure which is spread as fertilizer over or around cultivated plants, vines, vegetables, lawns, bushes or trees, or to manure kept by any nursery for commercial fertilizer purposes, unless such manure creates a nuisance either from fly breeding or excessive obnoxious odors. Said boxes, bins, or receptacles shall be constructed of brick, stone, concrete, metal or wood lined with metal or other sound material, and shall be proof against access to the contents thereof by flies. The contents of said boxes, bins or receptacles shall be removed once a week.
