It shall be the responsibility of the person in charge of a place of business to maintain the sidewalk area adjacent to his place of business and his private parking area, if any, used by his patrons for parking, in a reasonably litter free condition. If, in the opinion of the Mayor’s designee, the amount of litter in said areas amounts to a nuisance due to odors or eyesore characteristics the Mayor’s designee shall notify the person in charge to provide adequate, approved litter receptacles located so as to be convenient to the patrons of the place of business and/or to parking areas. The person in charge of such business shall be responsible for providing said litter receptacles and be responsible for emptying such containers as often as is necessary to prevent their becoming a nuisance. In no event shall the litter located on sidewalks and driveways adjacent to a place of business be allowed to be swept into the gutters or streets of the city.
