The purpose of this chapter is to provide regulations regarding
outdoor donation bins and the placement of donation bins and to prohibit
the use of donation bins that do not benefit charitable organizations.
However, such commercial enterprises may thereafter be selling such
items with little or no benefit to the charitable organization. It
has come to the attention of the Village Board of Trustees that these
bins are being installed with the appearance that donations will be
used for charitable purposes.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
DONATION BIN
Any container or receptacle placed on premises for use as
a temporary storage where the public may drop off such items as clothing,
books, household goods, etc.
The application fee for this permit shall not apply to any donation
bin that is located on premises that is owned or leased by any religious/charitable
organization, state, federal, county or local government entity.
