sidewalk, public walkway, drain, ditch, watercourse, the Ledyard Canal,
body of water, wetland, or any municipal property owned by or within

any litter in any park within the Village. Where public receptacles
are not provided, all litter shall be carried away from the park by
the person responsible for its presence and properly disposed of elsewhere.
No person shall transport through the Village
any ashes or refuse unless the same is contained so that the material
cannot escape while being so transported. Any person transporting
such material shall stop and recover the same in the event of any
escape or loss thereof, irrespective of the cause of the escape or
loss.

notice, poster or other paper or device calculated to attract the

tree or upon any public structure or building, except as may be authorized
or required by law.
No person shall place, or cause to be placed,
any litter on any private property within the Village in such a manner
that it tends to create a danger to the public health, safety and
welfare, whether owned by such person or not, except that the owner
or person in lawful control of private property may maintain private
receptacles for collection, as authorized by this chapter. Litter
will be prevented from being carried or deposited by the elements
or animals from any such occupied private property to the street,
sidewalk or other public place or upon any private property.
The owner or person in control of any private
property shall at all times maintain his premises free of litter so
that the same does not constitute a danger to the public health, safety
and welfare. This section shall not prohibit the storage of refuse
in authorized receptacles for collection.
The Village Board of Trustees is hereby authorized
and empowered to request the owner of any private property within
the Village, or the agent of such owner, to properly dispose of litter
located on such owner's property which is dangerous to public health,
safety or welfare. Such request shall be by registered mail, addressed
to the owner at his last known address.
Persons owning or occupying property shall keep
the sidewalk adjoining their premises free of litter.
