Sec.19-13-B21. Garbage and refuse

(a) The owner of premises upon which persons reside or which are frequented for pleasure or business shall keep such premises free from accumulations of garbage, rubbish, rags, tin cans, paper, empty barrels, boxes or any material which, because of its character, condition or improper storage, may invite the breeding or collection of flies, mosquitoes or rodents, or which may in any other manner prejudice the public health.

(b) In populous districts stable manure shall be kept in a covered water-tight pit or chamber and shall be removed at least once a week during the period from May first to October first and during the other months at intervals sufficiently frequent to maintain a sanitary condition satisfactory to the director of health. Manure on farms or isolated premises other than dairy farms need not be so protected and removed unless ordered by the director of health.
