(A) The purpose of this section is to regulate and control the disposition of garbage, rubbish and solid waste in the town and to prohibit the dumping, storing and accumulation of the waste in a place other than a permitted facility, particularly along public roadsides and private property within the town.
(B) No person or entity shall:
(1) Discharge, deposit, throw or cause to allow any solid waste to be discharged, deposited or thrown or stored on any land within the town limits for final disposal that does not have the proper permits and which is also land not owned by the generator or owner of the solid waste;
(2) Transport his or her garbage or rubbish to collection sites other than the site which is designated for his or her property;

(C) It is the purpose of this section, among other things, to prohibit a person who lives outside the town limits from bringing trash generated outside the town limits into the town for collection. The prohibitions of this section shall apply to all persons and entities regardless of whether they own real estate in the town limits.
(D) In all cases where there is found to be noncompliance with the provision of this section, the owner or occupant of the property found to be in noncompliance shall be notified by the Director of Operations either in person or by written notice sent by certified mail. This notice shall describe the nature of the noncompliance and suggest corrective action. The property owner or occupants so notified shall have five days from the receipt of the notice to take the corrective action at the expense of the property owner or occupant. The charge assessed against the property owner or occupant will be based upon the actual cost to the town, including, but not limited to, labor and equipment cost to the town and costs charged against the town to perform the corrective action, and shall constitute a lien on real estate. In no case shall the charge be less than $100. In addition to the assessment of charges pursuant thereto, the town may bring an action against the owner or occupant pursuant to § 50.99 of this chapter.
