By the adoption of this chapter, the Town Board of the Town
of Mount Hope, Orange County, New York, declares its intent to be
to regulate the disposal of waste material, viscera and feathers after
the slaughter of animals or fowl within this Town and to prohibit
the dumping of such matter within the Town from sources without the
Town. The dumping of such refuse in open areas uncovered and untreated
constitutes a menace and threat to the public health, safety, and
welfare and can adversely affect the growth and development of this
Town. Odors, fumes and disease frequently result from such open dumping,
all a potential public hazard and threat to the person and property
of the inhabitants of this Town. Therefore, pursuant to the ability
contained in the Town Law § 130, Subdivision 6, and pursuant
to its police power as contained in the Town Law § 130,
Subdivisions 11 and 15, the Town Board of the Town of Mount Hope does
hereby ordain as follows:
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
