§ 28-452. Composting.

All yard waste shall be separated by the owner or occupant from all other solid waste that accumulates on the premises and shall be composted or burned on the premises. Backyard composting of yard waste is encouraged. Owners and occupants are encouraged to accumulate upon property under their respective control such quantities of yard waste as can be properly composted without creating offensive odors, litter, fire or attracting insects or animals that transmit disease. Such composting so carried out shall be deemed to be an alternative disposition of the disposal of yard wastes and satisfaction of any requirement of this article. Composting shall be limited to yard waste produced on the property where the composting is taking place, unless specific permission for composting of material from other locations is obtained in advance from the council.
