§ 6:382. Placing of trash or waste matter.

(a)

Every owner, and occupant, of any building, house, structure or grounds within the corporate limits of the city, where trash or other waste matter, as defined in section 6:375, accumulates, may have such trash or other waste matter collected and disposed of by the department of public works only if such trash or other waste matter is placed in stout containers, boxes or barrels, of such sizes as can be conveniently handled by one man, and placed in the same location as garbage containers, provided, however, that shrubbery trimmings, trees and limbs need not be placed in such containers, but shall be conveniently stacked in the same location as garbage containers; and provided, further, that in business areas containers may be placed on the street edge of sidewalks in front of or adjacent to a business after business hours and not more than a reasonable time prior to the scheduled hour of collection.

(b)

The placing of such trash or other waste matter for collection in any container, manner, or place other than as specified in subsection (a) is prohibited and such is hereby made a violation of this part.

(c)

Should the city and parish enter into a contract with a private contractor for the collection and disposal of garbage, trash, bulky waste and litter, the terms and conditions of that contract shall take precedence over the provisions of this section, including but not limited to the definitions of all items of the contract.
