It has come to the attention of the Village Board that commercial
enterprises are soliciting donations of clothing to clothing bins
with the appearance that such clothing will be used for charitable
purposes. However, such commercial enterprises may thereafter be selling
such clothing with little or no benefit to any charitable organizations.
It is the purpose of this chapter to prohibit commercial enterprises
from soliciting clothing donations by the furnishing of commercial
bins on commercial properties which result in proceeds that do not
benefit charitable organizations.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
CLOTHING BIN
Any container or receptacle held out to the public as a place
for people to drop off articles of clothing and to store such clothing
until carted away.
This chapter shall not apply to any clothing bin that is located
on premises that are owned or leased by any religious or charitable
organization.
