The Board of Trustees finds that the placement
for prolonged periods of time of rubbish, garbage, recyclables, waste
material, disposable items and other items for disposition and removal
upon or adjacent to the right-of-way creates a health and safety hazard.
At times, such items are placed upon or adjacent to the Village right-of-way
for days prior to a collection day thereby creating a lack of visibility
for drivers utilizing adjacent roadways, health hazards as such items
decompose, and a safety hazard by providing prowlers with an area
away from plain view and creating an aesthetically displeasing sight.
To eliminate these hazards to the public health, safety and welfare,
the Board of Trustees has enacted this article governing the disposing,
removing, storing and placement of rubbish, garbage, recyclables,
waste material, and other disposable items as well as permitting the
Board of Trustees to establish regulations governing such in the future.
[Amended 3-22-2006 by L.L. No. 1-2006]
Any person, association, firm or corporation who or which violates any provision of this article or assists in the violation of any provision of this article shall be guilty of a violation, punishable as provided in Chapter
1, Article
I of this Code. Each week's continued violation shall constitute a separate additional violation.
