Roll-off containers designed for residential use such as dumpsters and portable self-storage containers* may be placed on a residential property if they are located a minimum of three feet (3’) from any property line. They may not be placed in the public right-of-way (the area between the public sidewalk and street).Roll-off containers must be placed entirely on an impervious surface such as an asphalt driveway or concrete pad.
Roll-off containers are allowed for up to 14 consecutive days once per calendar year. If more time is needed, the Building Commissioner may allow for additional time up to a maximum of three additional 14 day time periods per calendar year. A property owner must obtain written permission in advance from the Building Commissioner for any time extensions.
Roll-off containers for the construction of a new building or renovation of an existing building may remain on the property through the duration of the construction or renovation only if a valid building permit has been issued for the construction or renovation. These roll-off containers must be removed before the Village will issuance an occupancy permit.
