Throw, deposit or permit the accumulation of litter on private premises, both business and residential, within the Village, whether owned by such person or not. The owner or person in control of the private premises may maintain authorized private receptacles for collection in such a manner that litter would be prevented from being carried or deposited by the elements on any street, sidewalk or other public place or upon any private property. The owners of shopping centers are hereby required to install and maintain trash receptacles on the pedestrian walkways within said shopping center. These receptacles shall be placed at a maximum of 30 feet apart, unless the Board of Trustees, or its designee, determines this distance is not practicable. The receptacles shall be clearly designated as trash receptacles, and the Board of Trustees, or its designee, shall have the authority to determine the adequacy of such receptacles in terms of their type and number.
The Board of Trustees, or its designee, is hereby authorized and empowered to notify the owner and /or occupant of any open or vacant private premises or any occupied or unoccupied private or business premises within the Village, or the agent of such owner or occupant, to properly dispose of litter located on such property. Such notice shall be by certified mail, addressed to said owner and/or occupant at his last known address, or served personally by the Board of Trustees, or its designee, upon such owner or occupant.
Upon failure, neglect or refusal of any owner or occupant so notified to properly dispose of litter within three days after receipt of the written notice provided for in Subsection A above, or three days after the date of such notice in the event that the same is returned unserved, said Board of Trustees, or designee, is hereby authorized and empowered to order the correction of such violation, using Village funds or Village personnel to accomplish such correction, and may charge the costs thereof to the violator. Collection of such costs by the Village may be made by lien or otherwise as authorized by law and collected in the next Village real estate tax bill.
Any person, firm, association or corporation who violates any provision of this article or fails to correct within the time hereinabove set forth the conditions for which complaint is made by the Village shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000, plus costs of prosecution and, in default of payment of such fine and costs, to imprisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding 15 days, and each day's failure to comply with any such provision shall constitute a separate violation.
