(a)

All construction and demolition contractors, owners or agents shall provide on-site control measures, including interim storage containers, for the storage and control of loose debris, paper, tar paper, packaging and crating materials and other litter to prevent the scattering of such material, if the materials are not properly disposed of on a daily basis.

The areas to be kept clean shall include public properties, roads, rights-of-way, grounds, parking lots, loading and unloading areas and vacant lots adjacent to or surrounding the business or organization.

(c)

It is a violation of this article for any property owner, tenant, occupant, lessee or agent to allow any person to dispose of litter or accumulate litter on his property in any manner except in compliance with county ordinance.
