Had a weird question from one of my small municipalities. I was asked if
the town could require larger businesses (e.g. convenient stores) to have a
trash compactor. Apparently there are businesses that are allowing trash
and debri to get blown around and litter the streets. My initial concern is
that there may be a taking issue if the town required such an undertaking,
although, admittedly, I know very little about trash compactors.
Aside from advising them to pursue nuisance actions or write citations,
does anyone have any advice on this matter? Would it be permissible?
