A. The owner of any animal shall immediately remove and dispose of any fecal matter deposited by that animal on any sidewalk, street, park, other public area, or private property, unless the property owner has given approval to use said property for this purpose.

B. Accumulation of fecal matter is prohibited on private property. The owner of any animal must prevent accumulation of animal waste on his or her property by regularly patrolling and properly disposing of the fecal matter.

C. The owner shall provide a receptacle of sufficient size for the reception of such fecal matter. Such receptacle shall be so constructed that the contents thereof will not be accessible to flies and will prevent the emission or spread of offensive odors. Such receptacle shall be placed upon the premises owned, occupied or controlled by such person in a location as remote as possible from any surrounding dwelling or street. Such person shall empty and cleanse the receptacles as often as necessary to ensure the comfort or health of the immediate adjacent neighbors. [Ordinance #315, 2008; prior code § 6-1-5.]
