DIVISION 6. PREVENTION OF ILLEGAL DUMPING OF ROOFING MATERIALS
§ 9-161 AUTHORITY, FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
   (a)   Authority. This division is adopted pursuant to the authority conferred upon Greenville County by the Constitution and General Assembly of South Carolina.
   (b)   Findings and purpose. Greenville County Council finds that there is an inordinate amount of illegal dumping of litter in general and roofing materials, in particular. The county council further finds that this illegal dumping is not only unsafe, but also unhealthy. The county council further finds that it is extremely difficult to identify those individuals and/or companies responsible for the illegal dumping. The purpose of this division is to provide a mechanism for the county to control the illegal dumping of roofing materials and to identify those individuals and/or companies responsible, and to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Greenville County.

DIVISION 7. DISTRIBUTION OF UNSOLICITED    HANDBILLS UPON PRIVATE PREMISES
§ 9-171 FINDINGS.
   The county council finds that unwanted and unsolicited handbills are often left on private premises. These handbills create a litter problem when they are carried or deposited by the elements onto streets, sidewalks, and other public and private areas. In addition, the county finds that an accumulation of unsolicited handbills can be a signal to burglars and vandals that a residence is unoccupied.
