Section V-503 - Refuse Regulations [formerly paragraph 5:051]

A. All refuse shall be managed in accordance with the provisions in Part XXVII of this Code so as not to promote the breeding of flies and other arthropods of public health importance.

[formerly paragraph 5:053] The storage, retention, processing, or otherwise accumulation of material not ordinarily considered waste, (such as, but not limited to, fermentation vats, animal by products, and silage) but which can serve as a fly breeding medium shall not be permitted unless effective means to prevent such breeding are provided. The absence of domestic fly breeding in such material shall be deemed indicative of effective prevention.

If said conditions are not corrected within the specified time, the owner, lessee or agent shall be considered in violation of this code and subject to the prescribed penalties.
