in effect9.12.010 - Findings—Purpose.
Whereas the daily volume of litter carelessly deposited in the City has reached alarming proportions; the heedless avalanche of paper, wrappings, bottles, cans and waste of every conceivable kind is a cause of civic disgrace; litter is unsightly, dirty and offensive; it is a fire, health and safety hazard; litter has a deleterious effect on property values; it destroys community pride and makes the City a less desirable place in which to live; combating litter is a costly waste of men, money and material, it is the purpose of this Chapter to bring about a public awareness of the problem and to effect a litter control program.
