.09 Garbage and Refuse Disposal.

A. Storage, Collection, and Disposal. The storage, collection, and disposal of garbage and refuse shall be managed so as not to create health hazards, rodent harborage, insect-breeding areas, accidents, fire hazards, or air pollution.

B. Containers. All refuse shall be stored in conveniently located, leak-proof, rodent-proof containers with tight-fitting lids. Containers shall be provided in sufficient number and capacity for proper storage of all refuse.

C. Storage Racks or Platforms. Racks or concrete platforms shall be provided on which to store containers for refuse. These container racks or platforms shall be designed so as to prevent tipping, to minimize spillage and container deterioration, and to facilitate cleaning.

D. Collection. All refuse shall be collected at least twice weekly, or more often if the need is indicated. Where suitable collection service is not available from municipal or private agencies, the camp operator shall provide this service. All refuse shall be collected and transported in covered vehicles or covered containers to an approved disposal site.
