to comply.
For the purpose of this chapter, the following terms, phrases,

unless their use in the text of this chapter clearly demonstrates
a different meaning. When not inconsistent with the context, words
used in the present tense include the future, words used in the plural
number include the singular number, and words used in the singular
number include the plural number. The word "shall" is always mandatory
and not merely directory.
Any used or unconsumed substance or waste material which
has been discarded, whether made of aluminum, glass, plastic, rubber,
paper, or other natural or synthetic material, or any combination
thereof, including, but not limited to, any bottle, jar or can, or

cigarette, cigar, match or any flaming or glowing material or any
garbage, trash, refuse, debris, rubbish, grass clippings or other
lawn or garden waste, newspapers, magazines, glass, metal, plastic
or paper containers or other packaging or construction material, but
does not include the waste of the primary processes of mining or other

A container suitable for the depositing of litter.
Any individual, corporation, company, partnership, firm,

A.
It shall be unlawful for any person to throw, drop, discard or otherwise
place any litter of any nature upon public or private property other
than in a litter receptacle, or having done so, to allow such litter
to remain.
B.
Whenever any litter is thrown or discarded or allowed to fall from
a vehicle or boat in violation of this chapter, the operator or owner,
or both, of the motor vehicle or boat shall also be deemed to have
violated this chapter.
