[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Southampton 6-28-1955. Amendments noted where applicable.]
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
All firms, corporations and other entities.
[Amended 10-20-2009 by L.L. No. 6-2009]
No person shall cast, throw, place or deposit,
or cause to be cast, thrown, placed or deposited, any paper, throwaways,
handbills, debris, rubbish, refuse, leaves or other foreign matter
in or upon any street, lane, alley or public place in the Village
of Southampton.
[Added 10-20-2009 by L.L. No. 6-2009]
A.
During
the period of time established by the Superintendent of Public Works
for fall pickup of leaves by the Village, the owner of property abutting
a public street, or an employee of such owner (but not an independent
contractor), may place leaves emanating from such property along the
shoulder of such street (but not in the roadway) in long, narrow piles
or in biodegradable paper bags.
C.
Fall leaf pickup is intended to be for pickup of leaves placed by the abutting landowner or an employee thereof (such as a caretaker employed by the owner to take care of the owner's property) pursuant to and in accordance with Subsection A above, and thus the provisions of Subsection A above are intended to be a limited exception to § 74-2. Fall leaf pickup is not intended to be for pickup of leaves placed by an independent contractor (An independent contractor is expected to dispose of leaves at a disposal site rather than placing leaves on the right-of-way of a public street for pickup by the Village.), and thus the littering prohibition (§ 74-2) is intended to prohibit an independent contractor from placing leaves on the right-of-way of a public street.
No person having permanent quarters on any street
shall use or employ the receptacles provided for the public which
may be placed along such street, and such persons are hereby required
to maintain private receptacles for such discarded material at the
rear of their respective properties, which receptacles must conform
to the minimum requirements and standards hereinafter set forth and
provided.
Such persons shall cause all discarded paper
and other material capable of being moved or strewn by wind or other
agency to be securely confined in such receptacles so that same shall
not be overturned, dumped or otherwise treated in such way as to permit
the material therein deposited to escape or fall therefrom.
[Amended 1-29-1982 by L.L. No. 1-1982]
Such persons shall cause such receptacles regularly
to be emptied and removed either to the Town Dump or such other place
of disposal as shall eliminate permanently said material from the
limits of the Village of Southampton.
Said containers must, by reason of their weight
or method of anchoring, be sufficient to maintain same in a rigid
and upright position and must be equipped with a lid or gate adequately
hinged or attached to such receptacle as to permit facility of opening
and must be provided with a catch or lock sufficient to secure same
in a closed position. Said gate or lid shall be maintained in such
closed and securely fastened position at all times except when being
filled or emptied.
[Amended 1-29-1982 by L.L. No. 1-1982; 7-11-2002 by L.L. No. 1-2002; 8-13-2020 by L.L. No. 7-2020]
