B. It is unlawful for any person to wilfully break, deface, or injure any container or receptacle used to contain refuse, recyclable items, recyclable glass or green waste, or to do or permit anything to be done in connection with such automated containers or receptacles or the contents thereof that shall be offensive or filthy in relation to any person, place, building, premises, or highway.
