It is hereby determined that there exists on privately-owned parcels of land within the township accumulations of junk and/or garbage and that the accumulation of junk and/or garbage constitutes a hazard to the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the township for the reasons that they provide a habitat conductive to breeding and nesting of rats, mice, and other vermin and also that they contain objects with sharp edges and other hazards which could injure small children who would be attracted to play thereon without appreciating the danger thereof, and that the regulations contained in this subchapter are the minimum regulations required to eliminate the foregoing undesirable condition and protect the public health, safety, and welfare.
