It has been determined by researchers that most litter is generated from the following sources: motorists, pedestrians, household and business putouts, commercial putouts, loading/unloading areas, construction sites and uncovered vehicles. It is the purpose of this chapter to insure that these sources are regulated in such manner as to reduce the generation of litter in the town and to protect the public safety, health, welfare and environment.
