A. The following guidelines shall provide
				minimum standards for litter receptacle placement and frequency of placement:
1. Public highways located outside of cities
				and incorporated towns: one receptacle per turnout on the right-of-way,
				overlook, or rest stop, each of which is officially designated as such and
				determined to need a receptacle by the primary jurisdictional
				authority.
2. Trailer parks,
				recreational facilities and recreation areas, including parks, campgrounds,
				beaches, and bathing areas: one receptacle for each facility or area at which
				food or drink is sold, plus additional receptacles as necessary to accommodate
				the need for a litter depository. The need for additional receptacles shall be
				determined by the operator of the facility.
3. Shopping centers and all parking lots
				operated for public use: receptacles shall be located along pedestrian travel
				routes normally taken by persons using the facility. The number and placement
				of receptacles shall be determined by the operator or group responsible for the
				operation of the facility, except no less than one receptacle shall be placed
				at each shopping center and parking lot.
4. Drive-in restaurants and fast-food
				restaurants: one receptacle per establishment, plus additional receptacles as
				necessary to contain litter generated by the facility. The need for additional
				receptacles shall be determined by the operator of the facility.
5. Self-service refreshment areas: one
				receptacle for each separate area, provided that each separate area contains
				two or more machines for dispensing or serving food or drink.
6. Gasoline service stations: one receptacle
				per service island.
7. Construction
				sites: receptacles sufficient to contain workers' litter, plus those
				construction wastes capable of being spread by wind or water; the wind and
				water from hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods excepted. The primary contractor
				shall determine the number of receptacles and the size, except that no less
				than one receptacle shall be placed at each site.
8. Marinas, boat moorage and fueling
				stations, and public and private piers that are operated for public use: one
				receptacle for each area, plus additional receptacles as necessary to contain
				litter generated by the facility. The operator of the facility shall determine
				the need for additional receptacles.
9. Boat launching areas: receptacles shall be
				placed as needed consistent with use of the area and the need for a litter
				deposit. The need shall be determined by the operator of the area.
10. Sporting events, fairgrounds, carnivals,
				circuses, festivals, and other similar events: receptacles shall be placed
				sufficient in number to contain the litter generated at the event and spaced so
				as to be reasonably accessible in those areas of heavy use. The placement and
				need for the receptacles shall be determined by the operator, sponsor, or group
				operating the event, except no less than one receptacle shall be placed at each
				event.
11. Public buildings,
				including schools: one receptacle at or reasonably near the main, or most
				frequently used, entrance of each facility. The receptacle placement shall be
				consistent with need as determined by the person, agency, or group having
				primary responsibility for the operation of the facility.
12. Sidewalks in business districts: the need
				for receptacles and their placement and the responsibility for their purchase,
				maintenance, and service shall be determined by the local governmental
				authority.
