Refuse is a general term applied to solid and semi-solid waste materials other than human excreta. Waste material in refuse may be divided into:

a. Garbage - left-over vegetable, animal and fish material from kitchen and food establishments. These materials have a tendency to decay giving off foul odors. They also serve as food for flies and rats.

b. Rubbish - Waste materials such as bottle, broken glasses, tin cans, waste papers, discarded porcelain wares, pieces of metal, and other wrapping materials.

c. Ashes - Left over from burning of wood and coal. Ashes may become a nuisance because of the dust associated with them.

d. Dead Animals - Dead dogs, cats, rats, pigs, chicken usually run over by vehicles on streets and public highways. They also include small and other large animals that died from diseases.

e. Stable manure - Animal manure from stables.

f. Street sweeping - dust, manure, leaves, cigarette butts, waste papers, and other materials that are swept from streets,

g. Night Soils - Human waste normally wrapped and thrown into sidewalks and streets. This also includes human wastes from the pail system of toilets.
