The present Regulation enacts the Environment Act. At the outset the Regulation contains a definition clause containing terms employed therein, such as, for example, “animal and agricultural waste”, “bulky wastes”, “domestic animal wastes”, “industrial refuse”, “solid wastes”, “special wastes”. Section 2 establishes that no person shall deposit or leave or cause or permit the depositing or leaving of litter upon any land, water or ice, unless: a) the property is designated, by the local authority having jurisdiction, as an area for the disposal of litter b) the litter is placed into a litter receptacle; c) the litter is deposited in a location designated for this purpose, by the local authority having jurisdiction, during special clean up days; d) the depositing or leaving is the result of an emergency; or e) the litter is placed for normal pick-up service by the local authority having jurisdiction for removal to a waste disposal ground.
