§ 88-16.002. Findings and Intent.

The proliferation of trash, litter and sometimes garbage in areas surrounding take-out food establishments is unsightly, unhealthy and may have a negative effect on nearby property values. While proprietors of such businesses cannot be expected to control the conduct of their customers, they profit from the patronage of such customers, and they have the ability to pass through the costs of clean-up necessitated by illegal disposal of trash, litter and garbage originating from their businesses. It is therefore the intent of the board to impose upon the proprietors of such take-out food establishments, joint responsibility for the proper disposal of trash, litter and garbage originating from their business establishments.
