may carry such garbage and refuse to such container and dispose of
the same for a small charge. No licensed collector shall establish
such a refuse container without the prior approval of the Director

or demolition permit. A permit to allow such a container on premise
for which a valid building or demolition permit is not in effect shall
not exceed a period of thirty (30) days. Such refuse containers shall
not be so located as to obstruct a City sidewalk, street, alley or
right-of-way without special permission of the Police Chief. Furthermore,
such refuse containers shall not be so located as to restrict off-street
parking to less than two (2) spaces. For the purpose of this Section,
a "parking space" shall be defined as a paved driveway
surface or a garage or carport.
