It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation,
club or charitable organization, institution or association to place
and/or maintain any dumpster or other depository to collect clothing
for the needy or for any other group of people on any public or private
property, including any public sidewalk, street or alley or any private
parking lot or walkway or at any other location, in the Town without
first submitting an application and obtaining a permit from the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen.

a clothing depository or dumpster shall be made, in writing, to the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen prior to placing the clothing depository
or dumpster. The application shall contain the following information:
(1)
Name and address of the person, firm, corporation,
club or charitable organization, institution or association placing
and/or maintaining such clothing depository or dumpster.
(2)
Name and address of the owner of the premises on which
the clothing depository or dumpster is to be located and the written
consent of the owner if applicant is other than the owner.

in full force and effect until it is revoked by the Mayor and Board
of Aldermen.
The permit authorized hereunder shall be prominently
displayed upon the clothing depository or dumpster at all times.
No clothing depository or dumpster shall be
placed so as to create a danger or hazard to any pedestrian or vehicular
traffic or where it will unreasonably restrict parking spaces. The
location of the depository or dumpster shall be subject to the approval
of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen. Each clothing depository and dumpster
and the surrounding area shall be maintained in a neat, clean, and
orderly condition and shall be regularly emptied by the licensee.
Failure to maintain the clothing depository or dumpster and the surrounding
area in a neat, clean and orderly condition shall be cause for revocation
of the license granted hereunder.
This chapter shall be enforced by the Code Enforcement
Office. All licensed clothing depositories and dumpsters shall be
subject to inspection by the Code Enforcement Officer or any other
duly authorized representative of the Town.
Any person, firm, corporation, charitable organization, institution or association violating or failing to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be liable to the penalties stated in Chapter 1, General Provisions, Article III, General Penalty. Each day that a clothing depository or dumpster remains at a location in the Town without a permit shall be considered a separate offense.
