(a) No person shall place any refuse in any street, alley or other public place or upon any private property, whether owned by such person or not, within the Village unless it is in proper containers for collection or under express approval granted by the Mayor or her designee. Nor shall any person throw or deposit any refuse on the banks of or in any stream, river or other body of water.
(b) No person shall cast, place, sweep or deposit anywhere within the Village, any refuse in such a manner that it may be carried or deposited by the elements upon any street, sidewalk, alley, sewer, parkway or other public place or into any occupied premises within the Village.
(c) Any unauthorized accumulation of refuse on any premises is hereby declared to be a nuisance and is prohibited. Failure to remove any unauthorized accumulation of refuse within twenty-four hours after notice from the Mayor or her designee and/or his/her authorized agent shall be deemed a violation of this chapter. If such notice is not complied with within the time limit specified, the Mayor or her designee shall cause such violation to be corrected and the actual cost of such correction plus twenty-five percent (25%) for inspection and other additional costs in connection therewith may be billed with the other utility bills. Failure to pay the total cost within thirty days after notice as set forth above, shall entitle the Chief Fiscal Officer to certify same to the Lake County Auditor to be placed upon the tax duplicate and collected as other taxes are collected according to law.
