Hereafter, all persons, firms or corporations shall put or place garbage and rubbish in the same container, securely covered so as to prevent the material to be collected from spilling or being blown onto or about the streets or sidewalks of the Borough or on the public or private property in the Borough.
Said garbage and rubbish shall be in such type of containers as the proper committee of the Borough shall designate from time to time by at least 10 days' notice by handbills or newspaper publication. Plastic trash bags which are tied so that rubbish and garbage will not litter the neighborhood are acceptable containers for rubbish and garbage to be collected from residential dwellings in the Borough of Folcroft by the Borough trash collector.
A. 
Ashes, rubbish and garbage shall be collected on such days at such times and in such localities as shall be decided by Borough Council, in its sole discretion, and proper notice of such collection dates, times and places shall be given to the residents of the Borough.
B. 
Containers, boxes, baskets, cans and bundles, as aforementioned, shall be placed along the curb for collection not before 6:00 p.m. on the day prior to collection and removed not later than 9:00 a.m. on the day following collection.
C. 
It is hereby made the duty of each owner, occupant, household or tenant to clean up and remove such of the contents of the said containers, cans, boxes, baskets or bundles as shall have been spilled or scattered therefrom by any means or cause other than the negligence of the collectors.
The hours and days of collection shall be announced by the Borough by proper notice, and said days and hours may be changed from time to time by said committees, after due notice as above to all households and others.
