8.20.010 Disposal of Manure.
Every owner, lessee, tenant or occupant of any stable, barn, pen, apartment or enclosure in which any horse, cow, or other animals are kept, or any place when manure or urine from such animals accumulates, shall at all times keep or cause to be kept the said stables, barn, pen, apartment or enclosure and appurtenances thereof in a clean and wholesome condition, and shall provide for the removal of such manure and urine in accordance with the following provisions, to wit:
Unless all manure accumulating at any such places described above be removed every three days, boxes, or receptacles of a design and construction acceptable to the Health Officer shall be provided by each owner, lessee, tenant or occupant of such places, and the boxes or receptacles shall be used only for the purpose of containing the accumulation of the manure and shall be kept tightly closed at all times except when manure is being placed therein or removed therefrom, and in no instance shall manure be placed in the boxes or receptacles in such manner as to prevent the tight closing of the lid. The boxes or receptacles shall be proof against access to the contents thereof by flies. The contents of the boxes or receptacles shall be removed as often as filled, or more often if so required by the Health Officer. Any manure so removed must not be stored or gathered into piles if used as fertilizer within 100 feet of any dwelling unless used within two days. Any manure stored or gathered into piles between 100 feet and 500 feet of any dwelling must be used within 12 days. (Ord. 115 C.S. § 1, 1965; Code 1975 § 953).
