547. Every local municipality may make, amend or repeal by-laws:
(a)  to enact that in the territory of the municipality, or in any part thereof the council may designate, the owner, lessee or occupant of any immovable, or the person who has deposited the same, shall be obliged to remove ashes, swill, offal, refuse, garbage, manure, dead animals, night-soil, and other unhealthy or offensive matter, and to dispose thereof in the manner prescribed by the council;
(b)  to provide itself for the removal of such matter, in the territory of the municipality or in any part thereof the council may designate, and determine the manner of disposing thereof; to determine from the refuse the matters that may be salvaged for re-use or recycling and establish, in the whole territory of the municipality or in any part thereof, a selective refuse collection system in view of providing for their removal; to require, for that purpose, every owner, tenant or occupant of an immovable to separate from his household refuse those matters that may be re-used or recycled, according to the classification it determines; to dispose of the collected matters, in particular by processing the matters that may be recycled in an establishment contemplated in article 548.1 or 548.2; to acquire, for the purpose of renting or selling to persons to whom a garbage removal service is provided in the territory of the municipality, containers or other implements used in the operation of the service; to provide for the payment of the cost either by a tax on the taxable real property in the territory of the municipality or of the part designated, or by a compensation, which may vary with each category of users and is payable by the owner, tenant or occupant of each house, store or other building;
(c)  to enact that the compensation must, in all cases, be paid by the owner. It is then assimilated to a property tax imposed on the immovable for which it is due;
(d)  to enact that the compensation, in the case of a residence inhabited during part of the year only, is smaller and fixed proportionately to the number of months the service is used or to the average number of months it is used in a given sector as established by the council.
