(A) It shall be unlawful to litter in the town. If the town determines that there is litter upon a property or within the street right-of-way adjacent to an improved or unimproved property, the property owner shall be notified by return-receipt mailed or hand-delivered written notification and given seven days to remove the litter from the property or right-of-way. In the event the litter is not removed and abated within the allotted seven-day period, the litter shall become a nuisance and the town shall proceed to abate the nuisance in accordance with the provisions of § 10.99.
(B) Upon a property owner's failure to abate the nuisance within the time set forth above, the owner of the improved or unimproved property shall be in violation of the town code and subject to the civil and criminal penalties set forth in the town code. Each 24-hour period that the nuisance remains unabated after notice to the property owner shall constitute a separate violation.
