[Adopted 4-27-1981 ATM (Ch. 5, § 20, of the Bylaws)]
Except when put out for an authorized collection of rubbish
including such articles, no occupier or owner of land shall permit
any discarded appliances, such as a refrigerator, freezer, stove,
washing machine, clothes dryer or furniture, or luggage to be stored,
parked, or placed on any premises owned or occupied by him unless
the same shall be within a building or area such that the appliance,
furniture, or luggage shall be unexposed to view or access of the
public or abutters.
If any of the above articles are discarded, those having enclosed
spaces with latchable or lockable lids, covers, or doors must have
such door, lid, cover or other part which closes over the enclosed
space removed.
The Selectmen, either as a result of their own observations
or of the receipt of a complaint from any individual, may, when a
majority of the Board of Selectmen determines that a violation of
this bylaw exists, notify in writing the occupier or owner of land
on which such an offending article is found, to remove the same immediately
upon receipt of notice; delivery of such notice shall be made by mailing
the same by ordinary mail, postage prepaid, to the last known address
of said owner or occupier of such land. Every day that such an offending
article shall be allowed to remain on the praises commencing with
the sixth day after the date of said notice, including Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays, shall be considered a separate offense.
Each violation of this bylaw shall be punished as set forth in Chapter 58, Penalties and Enforcement.
