Littering
Operative Text
A. Residential and business premises with the Village of Fonda, whether improved or vacant, shall be maintained free of all litter; provided, however, that this section shall not prohibit the storage of litter for a reasonable period of time in authorized receptacles for collection. B. Adequate sanitary facilities and methods shall be used for the collection, storage, handling, disposal of garbage and refuse in accordance with the provision of applicable codes. C. It shall be unlawful for any person to throw, spill, place, deposit, leave or cause to be thrown, spilled, placed, deposited or left, or permit any agent, servant or employee to throw, spill, place, deposit, leave, in or upon any street, highway, alley, sidewalk, park or public building or in any running water or body of water within the Village of Fonda any garbage, refuse, rubbish, waste material, litter or filth, including, but not limited to, sewage, excrement, slops, dead carcasses, compost, ashes, soot or any material subject to be carried by the wind or unwholesome or putrescible matter of any kind.
Section 112-9 of Fonda, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 112 requires that all residential and business properties within the Village of Fonda — whether occupied or vacant — be kept free of litter at all times. Temporary storage of litter in approved containers while awaiting collection is permitted, but disposing of garbage, refuse, or any waste material in streets, sidewalks, parks, public buildings, or waterways is expressly prohibited. The rule applies broadly to any person, including those acting through agents or employees, who causes or allows such waste to be deposited in public spaces.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 112-9, property owners and managers operating within the Village of Fonda are generally expected to ensure that both occupied and vacant parcels remain clear of litter and that adequate, sanitary waste-collection systems are in place. Compliant operators typically provide tenants with authorized receptacles, establish clear procedures for garbage and refuse handling, and take steps to prevent waste from accumulating on or migrating from their properties. Because the provision extends liability to those who permit agents or employees to cause littering, operators commonly communicate waste-management expectations to all staff and contractors working on their properties.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 112-9 establishes that tenants, like all persons within the Village of Fonda, are prohibited from depositing garbage, refuse, or other waste materials in public areas such as streets, sidewalks, parks, or waterways. Tenants who believe a landlord's failure to provide adequate waste-collection facilities is contributing to a litter violation on their property may have grounds to raise that concern with local Village code enforcement. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help residents understand how ch. 112 § 112-9 intersects with a landlord's broader maintenance obligations.
