§ 135.05 ANTI-LITTERING.
   (A)   This section shall be known as the “Marlinton Anti-Littering Ordinance”.
   (B)   The Town Council finds that a problem exists in the town with respect to the improper disposal of solid and liquid refuse. This creates health and aesthetic problems in any town but particularly so in the center town of a county-wide resort area. The Town Council deems it in the best interests of the town to enact an ordinance defining the littering problem and exacting penalties for the violation of the ordinance.
   (C)   From and after the effective date of the passage of this section, it shall be a misdemeanor for a person within or without the town to dispose of any solid or liquid waste on any public street, avenue, alley or other public right-of-way or public property, or on any property not his or her own   within the town.
   (D)   From and after the effective date of this section it shall be a misdemeanor for any person to allow solid or liquid matter on their own property to be carried off and be deposited on any street, avenue, alley or other public right-of-way or other public property, or on other property not his or her own, or to allow such liquid matter to flow onto any street, avenue, alley or other public right-of-way or other public property or on any other property not his or her own. The Town Council finds that public policy requires a person to take such positive steps such as are necessary to confine any and all solid and liquid waste to his or her own property.
