(A) A person who violates this chapter or knowingly allows a junkyard or scrap metal processing facility to be established or maintained on his or her property in violation of this chapter may be fined not more $1,000. Whenever the County Sanitation Officer is given written notice that a junkyard or scrap metal processing facility is maintained or operated in violation of this chapter, the County Sanitation Officer shall give 30-days’ notice by certified mail to the owner of the property on which the violation exists. If the owner fails to act within 30 days as required by the notice, then each day of the maintenance or operation beginning on the first day following the receipt of the notice by the owner constitutes a separate offense.
(B) A person who recklessly, knowingly or intentionally places or leaves refuse on property of another person, except in a container provided for refuse, commits littering and is in violation of this chapter, and may be fined not more than $1,000. REFUSE includes solid and semi-solid wastes, dead animals and offal. Evidence that littering was committed from a moving vehicles other than a public conveyance constitutes prima facie evidence that it was committed by the operator of that vehicle.
