shall be kept clear of obstruction by the householder.
No person shall obstruct any street or other public place by placing thereon a vehicle

sort, branches of trees, or other encumbrances, provided, however, that a householder
may place portable covered metal or plastic garbage containers where designated on
the days of collection not more than three hours before the time of regular collection.
No portable containers shall be permitted to remain on the street or in front of the
premises served for an unreasonable length of time after collection has been effected.

places of business on such days and as are decided upon by the Council.

elevator or hoist for the purpose of carrying out or returning thereto any container nor
shall he/she demand any gratuity, gift, or consideration for services rendered beyond
his/her regular wage.
