Coxsackie, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 § 106-8 establishes a set of litter and refuse management standards that apply to residential, commercial, and industrial properties alike. All such premises must be kept free of litter, refuse must be handled through sanitary methods, discarded refrigerators must have their doors and locking devices removed before being left anywhere children could access them, and permanent dumpsters must be screened from public view. Shopping centers and similar businesses are additionally required to place enough litter receptacles on their premises so that no member of the public has to walk more than 50 feet to reach one.

Owners of shopping centers or similar commercial properties generally audit the placement and quantity of public litter receptacles to confirm the 50-foot maximum spacing requirement is continuously met.
