It shall be unlawful for any person, partnership,

or allowing to be deposited therein any trash, rubbish, garbage, debris,

[Amended 12-2-1997 by Ord. No. 1997-8]
Any person who violates or permits a violation
of this article shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil
enforcement proceeding commenced by the Township before a District
Justice, pay a fine of not more than $600, plus all court costs, including
reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by the Township in the enforcement

to seek equitable relief, including injunction, to enforce compliance
