A.
Location of container.
(1)
Where conditions permit, all dumpsters, roll-off dumpsters and/or
mobile storage units shall be stored upon private property, preferably
in the rear or side yard of said property.
(2)
Any dumpster, roll-off dumpster, and/or mobile storage unit that
is placed upon any of the public ways of the Borough, unless unfeasible,
shall be located on the same side of the public street or roadway
as the property from which the materials to be placed in the containers
are being generated.
(3)
Any such container that may be placed upon the public ways of the
Borough shall be placed so that the longer side is parallel to the
curbline or, in the absence of a curbline, parallel with the edge
of the right-of-way line. The container shall be placed so that it
is no less than six inches nor more than 12 inches from the curbline
or roadway limit.
(4)
No such container shall be placed or located closer than 40 feet
from an intersection of streets or public ways, or closer than 50
feet from an intersection controlled by a "STOP" or "YIELD" sign.
(5)
No such container shall be placed or located so as to impede the

Limitations on container size, storage on public ways. No dumpster,
roll-off dumpster, and/or mobile storage unit having dimensions of
eight feet in width or wider or 24 feet in length or longer, shall

of 25 feet or less along the frontage of the property from which the
materials for trash, recycling, or storage are being generated. No
container shall be placed for more than 30 days at the same location
on any public way of the Borough. The removal of a full container

its sole discretion, to require that a container be removed from the
public right-of-way.
C.
Illumination. Any dumpster, roll-off dumpster, and/or mobile storage

than two barricades each, complete with functioning flashers.

Permit. Any dumpster, roll-off dumpster, and/or mobile storage unit
placed within or along the public rights-of-way of the Borough and
not placed on private property is required to be registered and permitted
by the Borough of Waynesboro. A weekly permit shall be required and
must be applied for at Borough Hall. An associated permit fee of $25
per week will be collected at the time of application. Permits expire
each week and run from Wednesday to Wednesday. Borough Council reserves
the right to establish new permit fees from time to time by resolution.
E.
Indemnification/hold harmless. Any person placing a container of
any kind as defined herein on any public way in the Borough shall

Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter
or any resolutions or regulations made in pursuance hereof, shall,
upon conviction thereof by a Magisterial District Judge, be subject to a
fine of not more than $1,000, or such lesser amount as is the maximum
penalty prescribed by law, together with the costs of prosecution,
for any single violation.
B.
Every violator and/or each violation of the provisions hereof shall
be deemed guilty of a separate offense for each and every day that
