A.
No person, while a driver or passenger in a vehicle, shall throw
or deposit litter upon any highway or other public place.
B.
A municipality, or any individual, firm or corporation acting on
its behalf, or any other individual, firm or corporation shall not
cause or permit any solid waste, garbage, refuse, rubbish or wastepaper
to be transported on any vehicle unless such solid waste, garbage,
refuse, rubbish or wastepaper has a cover, tarpaulin or other device
which completely closes in the opening on the vehicle while such vehicle
is being operated, so as to prevent the falling of any such substances
from the vehicle, whether such vehicle is full or empty. If the load
is so arranged so that no loose substance can fall from or blow out
of the vehicle, then a covering is not necessary.
