Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) All persons shall dispose of refuse in containers which
shall be provided for that purpose by operators of organized campgrounds. Organized
campground operators shall keep the grounds free of uncontained refuse and shall provide a
sufficient number of secure waterproof containers, preferably metal, with flyproof tops for the
disposal of refuse. The containers shall be emptied as often as necessary to maintain the
organized campground free of uncontained refuse. The presence of uncontained refuse in excess
of the capacity of the containers provided shall be prima facie proof that the numbers of
containers or frequency of container emptying is inadequate and that the operator is in violation
of this subsection (1).
(2) Whenever containers for refuse are filled or are not available in campgrounds or
recreation areas, all persons shall dispose of refuse in compliance with rules and regulations
adopted by the board or operator or remove the refuse from the area for disposal in a manner not
in violation of this article.
(3) Refuse in public accommodation facilities shall be disposed in the manner specified
in such reasonable rules and regulations as may be promulgated by the board.
(4) Food wastes normally edible to human beings may be deposited on the surface of the
ground if the quantity of such wastes does not result in an unhealthful or unpleasant aesthetic
appearance by virtue of an unreasonable time required for decay of the waste or consumption of
the waste by fauna of the area.
