How to fight Sanitation ticket

I just received a ticket in the mail for having a piece of wood in a cardboard box of paper recyclables. The building is on 7 ave in park slope which is a very busy Ave so there is a problem of people throwing garbage anywhere. I am planning on going to the hearing and making a defense on the busy street and hoping to reduce the ticket from $100. Have anyone have a similiar problem and how best to prepare myself for the hearing.

Thanks in advance
