(A) No person shall litter or deposit any foreign matter on any street, alley, sidewalk, park or public place, except building materials and merchandise as permitted under this chapter, or as may be permitted by the City Council.
(B) (1) No person shall discharge or permit the discharge of grass clippings upon any public street or alley in the city. Any grass clippings which may be so discharged shall be immediately removed by the person causing or permitting such discharge.
(2) Since any such clippings left unremoved for more than one day on any city street or alley might cause clogging of the city's sewer system, such clippings shall be deemed to be abandoned. The City Street Department is hereby empowered to pick up such abandoned clippings and the cost shall be paid by the owner of the property. Such cost shall be based upon the time consumed by the pick-up crew and shall be in addition to any penalty provided for violation of this code.
(C) Any person violating this section shall be liable for the cost of removal of the foreign matter in addition to the penalty provided for violation of this code.
