Containers shall be provided in sufficient number and capacity for proper storage of all refuse. The lids shall be kept in place while refuse is being stored.

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 so designed as to prevent tipping, to minimize spillage, container deterioration, and to facilitate cleaning.
