[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Huntington Bay 6-8-1992 by L.L. No. 3-1992. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
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 Huntington Bay and onto various properties
located within the Village of Huntington Bay. 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.
For the purposes of this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings provided in Chapter 13 of the Village Code: garbage; junked vehicle, boat or household appliance; litter; refuse; and rubbish.
No person shall throw, deposit or spill or cause to be thrown,
deposited or spilled any garbage, litter, refuse, rubbish or abandoned
vehicles, boats or household appliances or any liquid or parts thereof
in any public highway, street or public or private place in the Village.
Provisions hereof shall not apply to garbage or rubbish stored
or kept outside on the days of the year designated by the Village
for the pickup of garbage or rubbish.
The Building Inspector of the Village and the Village Police
Department are hereby authorized to issue appearance tickets for violations
of this chapter.
[Amended 12-21-2001 by L.L. No. 2-2002]
Each offense against the provisions of this chapter or article
shall constitute a violation pursuant to the Penal Law of the State
of New York and shall be punishable as such. Any person or persons
violating any provisions of this chapter or article shall be liable
for and pay a fine of not less than $50 and not more than $1,000 for
a conviction on each offense.
[Added 12-21-2001 by L.L. No. 2-2002]
If any part or provision of this chapter or the application
thereof to any person or circumstance be adjudged invalid by any court
of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall be confined in its
operation to the part or provision or application directly involved
in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered
and shall not affect or impair the validity of the remainder of this
chapter or the application thereof to other persons or circumstances,
and the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village of Huntington
Bay hereby declares that it would have passed this chapter or the
remainder thereof had such invalid application or invalid provision
been apparent.
