Baytown eyes a new ordinance to regulate donation boxes for charities and curb litter. Public information officer Patti Jett notes verification to ensure groups are charitable. Council member Scott Sheley aims to ease donations, with Purple Heart and Goodwill sites listed and a proposed enforcement framework.
Red Youth and Senior Assistance Organization boxes number about 25 in Baytown with Elizabeth Norris coordinating sites. Items are sold by American Recyclers, profits funding youth and senior aid. Other boxes bear Family Aid Project or Role Models of America labels, while some misuse 100 Club branding, prompting officials to urge stop to misrepresentation. Kroger sites host two boxes, one authorized by Norris, the other unauthorized and left to gather trash and discarded furniture.
Baytown police opened an investigation into donation boxes labeled with The 100 Club after an inquiry. Detectives traveled to Katy to interview a person connected to the boxes and consider pursuing trademark counterfeiting charges. City officials may draft an ordinance to regulate who can set up boxes, how they are maintained, and penalties for noncompliance.
