There shall be a rebut table presumption that an owner or person in control of any private property has violated this article and failed to keep and maintain the premises free of litter, as the term is used in this article, if the litter, as defined herein, remains on the property and is not removed for a period in excess of 24 hours.
B. No notice or warning by or to any person is required prior to the issuance of a summons or complaint for any violation of this article; however, nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the issuance of said notice or warning permitting a reasonable time period for the removal of litter prior to the issuance of said summons or complaint.
C. The fact of the charging or conviction of any person for the throwing or depositing of litter in violation of this article shall not relieve the owner or person in control of any private property of the responsibility to keep and maintain the property free of litter in accordance with the provisions of this article.
D. The provisions of this article shall not apply to the offices and employees of the Town Department of Public Works in the exercise of their trash collection activities; nor shall the provisions hereof apply to the deposit and maintenance of litter in a location, suitably enclosed in a secured trash dumpster, trash can or trash bag, along the street line, suitable for town or other authorized trash collection, for a period not to exceed one day.
