Front property lines are typically 15 feet behind the street edge, and this distance is <br /> problematic for hauler access. <br /> This amendment specifies the proper placement of residential trash and recycling containers. It clarifies <br /> that containers shall be placed behind the curb/street edge and not in the street. Containers placed in the <br /> street impede street maintenance operations (sweeping and snow removal). It is difficult and time <br /> consuming for plow operators to maneuver around containers or parked vehicles, only to return later and <br /> clear the street curb to curb. <br /> The section was also modified to have residents store containers out of sight on non-pickup days. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Ordinance Amendment <br /> p 0 W I R E a 0 <br /> NA UREJ <br />
