It has come to the attention of the Village Board of Trustees that individuals, persons and organizations have been dumping garbage and refuse onto the streets of Harriman and onto various properties located within the Village of Harriman. These materials are not only unsightly and create a nuisance to the public at large but also represent a potential health hazard. Therefore, the Village Board of Trustees wishes to implement this chapter to prohibit improper and illegal dumping in the Village of Harriman.
