A. Refuse regulated. In all districts, all waste material, debris, refuse or garbage shall be kept in an enclosed building or properly contained in a closed container designed for such purposes, with the exception of crop residue. The owner of vacant land shall be responsible for keeping such land free from refuse. Existing uses shall comply with this provision within 90 days following enactment of this chapter. All exterior storage material, not included as a permitted use, accessory use or conditional use or otherwise permitted by provisions of this chapter shall be considered as refuse.

B. Container locations. All refuse containers exceeding one square yard, which are permanently placed on a parcel, shall be located in the side or rear yard. Residential refuse containers shall not be placed out for pickup sooner than 24 hours before collection and shall be removed, for storage, within 24 hours of refuse collection.
