Containers of the type and size designated by the
Director of Public Works shall be used. The minimum
monthly charges are as follows: (a) for a single office
serviced by one container, the minimum monthly charge
is $7.00; (b) for groups of offices serviced by one
container, despite the fact that some offices in the
group may be vacant, the mon'thly minimum charge per
