The Board of Supervisors of the County of Riverside ordains as follows:
Section 1. FINDINGS. The Board of Supervisors finds that the unregulated and improper allowance of rubbish or other material dangerous or injurious to neighboring property or to the health or welfare of residents in the vicinity of any real property throughout the unincorporated territory of the County of Riverside poses a danger, not only because it is unsightly and negatively impacts property values, but also because it provides areas for occupation by vermin or wild animals, is a fire hazard and is potentially toxic to persons and the environment. Therefore, the accumulation of rubbish is deemed a Public Nuisance and poses a hazard to the safety of landowners, residents in the vicinity, users of public highways and to the public generally.
