Existing law requires litter receptacles to be placed on specified public places. Existing law requires any person owning or operating any establishment or public place in which litter receptacles are required to be placed to procure, place, and maintain those receptacles on the premises at that person’s own expense.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
(a)It shall be the responsibility of any person owning or operating any establishment or public place in which litter receptacles are required by this chapter to procure, place, and maintain those receptacles at their own expense on the premises in accordance with this chapter.
(b)The responsibility for the removal of litter from receptacles placed at publicly owned places shall remain with the public agencies. The responsibility for the removal of litter from receptacles placed on private property shall remain with the owner of the property or, in cases where the owner is not in actual possession of the premises, with the tenant of the property.
