(A) Keeping property clean. Each owner and occupant of real property shall keep the property and adjacent sidewalks, roads, parking lots and alleys free of litter. The occupant shall have primary responsibility. When a violation occurs, if a tenant-occupant cannot be located or identified, the owner-landlord may be cited. To avoid responsibility under this section, the landlord shall forward the citation to the tenant, and shall send the name and address of the tenant to the city.

(1) It shall be unlawful for any owner, agent, or contractor to permit the accumulation of litter, before, during, or after completion of any construction or demolition project.
(2) It shall be the duty of the owner, agent, or contractor in charge of a construction or demolition site to furnish adequate litter receptacles, to collect and contain bulk litter on a daily basis. All litter shall be removed from such site not less that once a week.
(3) All demolition and construction materials shall be separated and disposed of by prior permit from the Building Inspector's Office.
(D) Handbills (other than that of a religious or political nature or public interest), advertising material, and litter identification.
(1) It shall be unlawful for any person distributing leaflets, or other information material to distribute the material so that it litters property.
(2) Any litter bearing a person's name or address, found on the property of another, shall be presumed to be the property of the person whose name or address appears thereon, and that such person is responsible for the placement of the litter.
