(A) In addition to any other penalties set forth in this chapter, any solid waste or recycling container which is placed or maintained at a residential account, business establishment, or commercial multi-family account in violation of any town or state law may be seized and impounded by the Town, at the owner’s expense.
(B) Prior to the seizure and impoundment of any solid waste container, the town shall conspicuously post upon said container a notice of violation which sets forth the specific violation and the date on which the container will be seized if the violation has not been corrected. The notice of violations shall be posted at least ten days prior to the seizure of the container, unless the Director determines the container creates an incipient hazard, or imminent health or safety hazard.
(C) The owner of any container which is impounded pursuant to the provisions of this section shall have 30 days to pay the town cost of seizure and storage and to retrieve the container. If the owner of a container has failed to pay the applicable cost or failed to retrieve the container within 30 days of its seizure, the town is authorized to dispose of the container upon such condition and terms as determined by town.
