• No lot shall be used or maintained as a dumping ground for rubbish, trash, garbage or other wastes.
• Store your garbage containers and barbecue grills where they cannot be seen. For example, in your garage, behind a fence or behind shrubbery. Do not leave your garbage containers on the curb.
• The back yards are not a storage area. There should be no above ground pools, trailers, etc., parked in the back yards. Those that are being used in this manner should be corrected immediately.
