It shall be lawful to place debris, such as twigs, small branches and similar matter, in the parkway between the sidewalk and the curbstone, provided the debris does not extend over the sidewalk so as to block pedestrian traffic or fall into or extend over the street so as to block pedestrian traffic or fall into or extend over the street so as to hinder vehicular traffic or make it difficult to use any motor-driven, roadway maintenance equipment.

(b)

All persons engaged in the business of trimming or removing trees, shrubbery or similar growth shall remove from the property, where the work is being done, all sawdust, branches, stumps and all portions of the byproduct of the trimming or removal service and dispose of such materials in a lawful manner.

(c)

All persons engaged in the business of landscaping, nurseries or yard maintenance and who shall contract with a property owner, the owner's agent or the occupant to improve the property, trim or remove shrubbery and trees or maintain yards shall remove from the property all rubbish, including rocks, dirt, glass, trimmings and other byproducts of that service and dispose of such materials in a lawful manner.
