Where a municipal sewer connection is not available, liquid waste shall be discharged into an approved private system. The private system shall not create a nuisance; pollute a stream, lake, or other body of water; or contaminate a water supply or bathing place and shall comply with applicable  local  health department requirements.

(2)   Garbage produced in the kitchen area shall be removed and stored in flyproof and watertight garbage cans with tight-fitting covers which are emptied not less than twice a week. Garbage cans shall not be filled  to overflowing or allowed to become foul smelling or a breeding place for flies. A garbage can shall be provided with a waterproof liner or thoroughly cleaned after each emptying.

(3)   Other solid waste shall be handled and removed at intervals so as not to create a nuisance or a menace to health.
