§ 50.13 CONTAINERS REQUIRED TO REDUCE LITTER.
   (A)   Whenever the town determines that solid wastes are commonly or routinely deposited by the customers, employees, licensees or invitees of the premises onto the parking areas or other open spaces of the premises or adjacent properties or streets, the town may require that the person in possession of the premises provide a refuse container on the premises. In locations specified by the town to be necessary to minimize the litter problem to the extent reasonably possible and practicable under circumstances. This section is specifically intended to apply, but shall not be limited, to those establishments commonly known as fast food restaurants, strip shopping centers, and convenience stores.
   (B)   The presumptions established by this section are that to satisfy the standard set forth in division (A) above. There shall be one refuse receptacle for every 20 parking spaces or fraction thereof, with a minimum of two receptacles per parking lot. This is required for businesses establishments. However, this is only a presumptive standard to guide the discretion of the town, and the town may find in any case that more or fewer receptacles are necessary to satisfy the standard set forth in division (A) above.
   (C)   Whenever premises served by bulk containers (Dumpsters) are required under division (A) above, other refuse receptacles for the use of employees must be located on the premises for the use of employees, customers, licensees or invitees. Whenever other refuse receptacles are furnished voluntarily, the person in possession of the premises shall collect or make arrangements for a private contractor to collect the solid waste deposited in refuse receptacles and place the solid waste in bulk containers serviced by the private contractor.
   (D)   No person on the parking area or other open spaces of any premises may place, discard, throw, drop or deposit, or cause to be placed, thrown, dropped or deposited any solid wastes on premises except in properly designated receptacles.
