Any person, association, firm or corporation who or which shall
violate any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction
thereof before a Magisterial District Judge, be sentenced to pay a

of such fine and costs, be imprisoned for not more than 30 days in
the Adams County jail. Each act of littering shall constitute a separate
violation and a separate offense.
