<br />ARTICLE II. REGULATION OF THE
<br />COLLECTION OF SOLID WASTE*
<br />
<br />Sec. 16.21. Purpose of article.
<br />
<br />(a) The accumulation of garbage, rubbish, junk,
<br />and other deleterious substances on the premises
<br />of private residences, commercial and industrial
<br />institutions, and in streets and alleys constitutes
<br />a public menace and nuisance and greatly in-
<br />creases the danger of the spread of infectious,
<br />contagious, and epidemic diseases, and it is im-
<br />perative and urgent for the preservation of health,
<br />safety, sanitation, peace, and public welfare that
<br />proper and adequate regulations be adopted to
<br />require property owners, tenants, occupants, or
<br />lessees to secure containers and receptacles of
<br />sufficient size and material in which to deposit
<br />garbage and trash for collection and removal at
<br />regular intervals. The transportation of commer-
<br />cial and industrial solid waste presents additional
<br />problems associated with the collection, transpor-
<br />tation, and disposal thereof, requiring additional
<br />regulations and fees necessary to defray the cost
<br />of regulation and the maintenance of streets and
<br />rights-of-way affected by such activity.
<br />
<br />(b) The City ancl its City Sanitation Depart-
<br />ment shall be the exclusive provider of residential
<br />garbage, rubbish, ancl waste collection and dis-
<br />posal services for all residential units within the
<br />city limits of the City of Paris. It shall be unlawful
<br />for any person to provide garbage, rubbish, or
<br />other waste collection or disposal services to any
<br />person for compensation within the City or to
<br />make use of the public streets for that purpose
<br />except as provided in this article.
