Proliferation in the use of roll-off containers placed on public streets
has become a matter of deep concern to this Village Board because of the potential
hazard, primarily to motorists using public streets, particularly in the darkness
of the night. This chapter is designed to regulate the use of roll-off containers
with safeguards for the overall protection of persons, property and the roadbed
upon which the roll-off container rests.
For the purpose of this chapter, certain words are defined as follows:
DIRECTOR
The Director of Public Works of the Village of Garden City, or his
designee.
OWNER
The person having ownership of the roll-off container and either
using the roll-off container for his own purposes or for leasing of same.
PERSON
Any individual, association, company, firm, corporation, partnership,
society or any other entity.
ROLL-OFF CONTAINER
The type of container or dumpster usually associated with a vehicle
containing hydraulic or mechanical capabilities to lift a prefabricated container
from the ground onto the truck for transport purposes or to lift and dump
the material contained therein into the body of said truck, the contents of
which container is solid waste consisting of refuse, rubbish and other debris.
STREET
A public thoroughfare within the village, but shall not include municipal
parking fields.
VILLAGE
The Incorporated Village of Garden City.
No person shall place or permit a roll-off container to be placed upon
any street within the village without first obtaining a permit therefor in
accordance with the requirements of this chapter.
Each day that this chapter is violated shall constitute a separate offense,
and any person allowing or permitting the continuation of the offense may
be punished as provided herein for each separate violation.
