No employee or independent contractor who shall excavate upon or remove or disturb any rock, dirt or fill material upon any private property, or who shall place any rock, dirt or fill material upon any private property, shall be deemed to have thereby violated any of the provisions of this chapter if and so long as they shall have complied with the directions and instructions of any owner, tenant or other person having any interest in said property, in such activities. In such case the only person who shall be held liable or responsible for such activity shall be the owner, tenant or other person having an interest in such realty who shall have ordered, procured or directed the same. Nothing contained in this section shall be deemed or construed to relieve any employee or independent contractor from liability or responsibility for littering any street or other public place or for causing any such material to go or be upon any street or other public place, if such littering or movement onto such street or other public place shall occur at any time while such employee or independent contractor is engaged in such excavation, fill or other work or activity.
