§ 54-183. Storage of litter.

(a)

All commercial establishments shall store litter in containers so as to eliminate wind-driven debris and litter in or about their establishments. The number and size of containers necessary for each commercial establishment shall be that number required to maintain clean, neat, and sanitary premises. Spillage and overflow around containers regardless of whether located within an enclosure, will constitute an unlawful accumulation of litter and must be immediately cleaned up as it occurs.

(b)

All loading and unloading zones at commercial establishments shall be provided with litter receptacles by the owner of the business to store litter.

(c)

Each person owning or operating any establishment open to the public shall provide receptacles adequate to contain litter generated from such establishment.

(d)

Any and every person in possession, or in charge or in control of any place, public or private where litter is accumulated or generated, at all times shall provide and maintain adequate and suitable receptacles and/or containers capable of holding such materials, until proper final disposal is accomplished.

(e)

All construction and demolition contractors, whether owners or agents, shall provide on-site receptacles for litter sufficient to prevent wind-driven scattering of such materials if the materials are otherwise not properly disposed of on a daily basis. Receptacles placed or erected on construction sites are limited to the deposit of construction and demolition debris. Food, drink and food wrappers must be removed from the construction site daily. Spillage and overflow around containers or secured building material shall constitute an unlawful accumulation of litter and shall be immediately cleaned up as it occurs.

(1)

Should a violation of subsection (e) of this section occur, the construction/demolition contractor, whether owner or agent, will be required to secure a roll-off container with cover, for containment of construction debris on the site with collection scheduled necessary to prevent spillage and overflow around the containers.
