for its presence and properly disposed of elsewhere.
No person shall transport through the Village any ashes or refuse

control of private property may maintain private receptacles for collection,
as authorized by this chapter. Litter will be prevented from being
carried or deposited by the elements or animals from any such occupied
private property to the street, sidewalk or other public place or
upon any private property. The foregoing shall be in addition to any

shall prevail and control.

at all times maintain his premises free of litter so that the same

provisions of other New York State and local laws, the more stringent
provisions shall prevail and control.
The Village Board of Trustees is hereby authorized and empowered
to request the owner of any private property within the Village, or
the agent of such owner, to properly dispose of litter located on
such owner's property which is dangerous to public health, safety
or welfare. Such request shall be by registered mail, addressed to
the owner at his last known address. The foregoing shall be in addition
to any requirements of other New York State and local law. In the
event of a conflict between the provisions hereof and such provisions
of other New York State and local law, the more stringent provisions
shall prevail and control.
Persons owning or occupying property shall keep the sidewalk
adjoining their premises free of litter.
