Standard and commercial refuse containers shall be placed for collection in the following manner:

It shall be the duty of the owner or his agent to provide suitable space at the alley line for such container; a container may be placed in the public way if (i) the property does not have suitable space as determined by the department of streets and sanitation and defined in the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this chapter and (ii) the structure on the property was in existence on the effective date of this ordinance.

(b)     For curb collections, at the curb line not earlier than the evening preceding the designated collection day, and removal from the public way not later than the evening of such day, except for occupational units not operating on the day after collection.

No container used for the storage, collection and removal of garbage or other refuse shall be placed so as to constitute a nuisance to adjacent property or the occupants thereof.
