or other depository to collect clothing for the needy or for any other group

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.
