as produced; or suitable metal or metal-lined bins provided with normally
closed covers or automatically closing covers shall be installed at or near
such machines, and shavings and sawdust shall be swept up and deposited in
such bins at sufficiently frequent intervals as to keep the premises clean.

refuse burners; provided that these materials may be burned in the open if
surrounded by a metal or other wall at least six feet high and distant at
