(a) No person shall scavenge or remove rubbish or recyclables stored and placed for collection from any tree lawn or collection point except from a tree lawn or collection point on or abutting his or her property and except as hereinafter provided. Charitable organizations may scavenge such rubbish with the permission of the owner and after registration with the Police Chief upon a showing that their scavenging will not disrupt city collections or cause debris from rubbish to be strewn about and that they are bona fide charitable organizations which have programs for scavenging without nuisance. Failure to comply with these requirements shall be cause for revocation of the registration and permission.
(b) Whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor.
