(A) Generally. No person shall throw, deposit or distribute any commercial or noncommercial handbill, magazine, newspaper or other printed matter upon any private premises if requested by anyone thereon not to do so or if there is placed on said premises a sign bearing the words: “No Trespassing,” “No Peddlers or Agents,” “No Advertisements” or any similar notice indicating in any manner that the occupants of said premises do not desire to be molested or have their right of privacy disturbed or to have any such printed matter in or upon such inhabited private premises. On properties with no such limitations, printed matter must be placed or deposited in a manner to secure and prevent such matter from being blown or drifted about such private premises, neighboring properties, sidewalks, streets or other public places.
