Whoever throws down, drops or otherwise deposits and leaves any litter in, into or from a public place in such circumstances as to cause, contribute to or tend to lead to its defacement by such litter is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine of five hundred dollars or to imprisonment for six months.
In any proceedings under subsection (1), it is a defence to prove that the throwing, dropping or otherwise depositing or leaving of the litter was authorised by law or was done with the consent of the owner, occupier or other person having the control of the public place in or into which the litter was deposited.
