People often throw trash and other paper items on the ground. What can I do about it?

Littering in our community is a serious problem. Section 527.02 of the Codified Ordinances reads:

No person shall throw or deposit litter in or upon any street, sidewalk, or other public place within the city except in public receptacles, in authorized private receptacles for collection, or in official city dumps.

Violation of this ordinance is a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.
