[Adopted 10-21-1985 by L.L. No. 18-1985]
This article is adopted for the protection and promotion of the public
health, safety and general welfare of the community by regulating the storage
of garbage and other waste materials as well as the use and maintenance and
operation of bulk garbage containers referred to as "dumpsters."
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
Residue from fires used for cooking and heating and on-site incineration.
A bulk storage container for garbage and other waste materials that
can be hauled directly to the point of disposal or emptied into a larger compactor-type
truck for disposal.
Wastes from the preparation, cooking and serving of food; market
wastes and wastes from handling, storage and sale of produce.
Includes all categories of materials to be disposed of, excluding
garbage.
The property owner, lessee or the user of the container shall make provision
to have the collection from the dumpster on such a schedule so that garbage
and other waste materials do not accumulate so as to overflow the confines
of the container or restrict the closing of the container cover.
A.
All dumpsters shall be enclosed on all sides by a solid
fence and gate enclosure, the height of which shall exceed the height of the
dumpsters by a minimum of one foot.
B.
No dumpster shall be located in or on a public right-of-way.
Dumpsters shall be set back a minimum of 20 feet from any road right-of-way
or property line.
C.
Garbage and other waste materials must be completely
contained within the dumpster. No accumulation of garbage or waste materials
will be permitted outside the confines of the dumpster, nor will it be permitted
to accumulate garbage or other waste materials so that the dumpster cover
cannot be firmly closed.
D.
Dumpster covers shall be kept closed at all times.
E.
All dumpsters shall be kept in good repair, be structurally
sound, leakproof and be easily opened and closed. Dumpsters shall be painted
as required to prevent the show of rust and deterioration and be so constructed
to stand firmly upright.
F.
All dumpsters shall have the name of the company or individual
owning such dumpster clearly printed, in letters at least three inches high,
on either the front or the back of such dumpster.
Relief from any of the provisions of this article alleged to be a hardship
may be obtained by submitting, in writing, to the Board of Trustees of the
Village, a statement detailing the hardship and the relief requested. The
Board of Trustees shall review the submission and render a decision thereon
within 30 days. If the hardship involves site location of a dumpster, a site
plan of the property shall be submitted showing the proposed site location
of the dumpster with the distance from property line or right-of-way and whatever
pertinent information the petitioner may feel will be relevant to his presentation.
The provisions of this article shall apply to the owner of the dumpster
as well as to the user or lessee of the container.
