               watertight, and easily cleaned, with a closefitting, flytight cover in place, with
               adequate handles or bails to facilitate handling. The capacity of containers used
               for individual residences may not exceed 39 gallons. The EPA recommends a maximum
               capacity of 35 gallons unless the containers are equipped with casters and can be
               served by being rolled to the collection vehicle, as specified in 40 CFR 243.200-2(a)(1).
               Solid waste receptacles may also be used for storage provided they meet the requirements
               of this subsection. The number of containers shall be adequate to store one week's
               accumulation of garbage. Each container shall be kept clean so that no odor or other
               nuisance condition exists.
