Odious Material definition
Odious Material means all trash, garbage, litter, and other items or substances which, individually or collectively, might endanger the health or safety of residents of the Town. Odious Material can endanger health and safety by increasing the risk of harm, irrespective of whether such harm is generated in fact. Among other potential causes, such increase in harm could be caused (i) by the creation of a favorable environment for insects, bacteria, viruses, vermin, dangerous animals, and snakes, (ii) potential pollution of groundwater or surface water through absorption or seepage of chemicals and other substances, or (iii) potential injuries to motorists or pedestrians as materials are blown into the street or ejected by lawn mowers.
