(A) It is unlawful for any person knowingly, without the consent of the public authority having supervision of public property or the owner of private property, to dump, deposit, place, throw, or leave, or cause or permit the dumping, depositing, placing, throwing, or leaving of litter on any public or private property or waters other than property designated and set aside for such purposes. The phrase “public or private property or waters” includes, but is not limited to, the right-of-way of any road or highway, or any body of water or watercourse, or the shores or beaches thereof and including the ice above the waters; any park, playground, building, refuge, or conservation or recreation area; and any residential or farm properties or timberlands.
(B) It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation, in person or by his or her or its agent, employee, or servant, to use any vehicle to haul any kind of dirt, rubbish, waste articles or things or substance, whether liquid or solid, unless the vehicle is covered to prevent any part of its load from spilling or dropping at all times while the vehicle is in motion on any street or alley in the township. It shall be covered at all times, except while actually being loaded or unloaded. Provided, however, that the requirements herein for covering the vehicles shall not apply to vehicles carrying brush, cutting, tree trimmings, branches, logs and similar waste material, if the matter is securely latched to the vehicle to prevent spilling or dropping as aforesaid.
