This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Scarsdale Anti-Litter and Handbill Distribution Law."

Any printed or written matter, any sample or device, dodger, circular, leaflet, pamphlet, paper, picture, booklet or any other printed or otherwise reproduced original or copies of any matter of literature which:
[1]Directs attention to or advertises any meeting, theatrical performance, exhibition or event of any kind, for which an admission fee is charged for the purpose of private gain or profit; but the terms of this subsection shall not apply where an admission fee is charged or a collection is taken up for the purpose of defraying the expenses incident to such meeting, theatrical performance, exhibition or event of any kind, when it is held, given or takes place in connection with the dissemination of information which is not restricted under the ordinary rules of decency, good morals, public peace, safety and good order. However, nothing contained in this subsection shall be deemed to authorize the holding, giving or taking place of any meeting, theatrical performance, exhibition or event of any kind, without a license, where such license is or may be required by any law of this state or by any law of this village; or
Garbage, refuse, rubbish and all other waste material which, if thrown or deposited as herein prohibited, tends to create a danger to public health, safety and welfare or tends to create an unsightly condition.
