LITTERING
(A) Basis and intent. The Village Council has found that the unregulated littering of public and private property and waters has serious and significant effects on the lives and properties of the residents of the village creating blighting influences and health hazards. It is the intent of this subchapter to prohibit the littering of public and private property and waters.
(B) Short title. This subchapter shall be known as the “Village of Lake Orion Littering Ordinance.”
(Ord. 6.08, passed 10-11-88)
(A) Littering. No person shall knowingly dump, deposit, place, throw or leave, or cause or permit the dumping, depositing, placing, throwing or leaving of litter onto any public or private property or waters other than property designated and set aside for such purposes. The phrase public or private property or waters includes, but is not limited to, the right-of-way and any road or highway, any body of water or water course, or the shores or beaches thereof, and including the ice above such waters, any park, playground, building or recreation area, and any residential property.
(B) Accumulation of litter. It shall be unlawful for any person to allow the accumulation of litter, or allow litter to remain outdoors on property owned or controlled by such person for a period of more than 15 days, when allowing such litter to remain on property would be reasonably likely to result in a safety and/or health hazard either in and of itself or if such condition were to prevail on several other properties in one area.
