Ordinance 40 has been on the books since 1979, but only in the past several years, with the hiring of a litter control officer, lias a concentrated effort been made to enforce it. As the pressures of growth place new demands for sanitation services from the county, so has the demand for enforcement of the ordinance in creased. White said his department plans to step up enforcement and prosecution of violators.
