[Amended 12-5-1977 by L.L. No. 3-1977]
For the purposes of this section, certain words are defined as follows:

All garbage shall be placed and kept in receptacles constructed of metal or other suitable material which shall at all times be kept covered with a tight-fitting lid.
All rubbish which can be scattered unless securely confined shall be placed and kept in containers of a type which shall prevent the contents from being sifted or broadcast or blown about.
All highly flammable or explosive materials shall be placed and kept in separate suitably marked containers to ensure safety in handling thereof.
All garbage and rubbish, as those terms are defined in § 190-3 of this chapter, and other waste materials shall be kept and disposed of in the manner following:
No garbage receptacles shall be stored on or in any front yard. Garbage receptacles may be kept in side or rear yards but shall be screened and not visible from the street.
All rubbish and receptacles or containers of rubbish shall be set out for collection no earlier than 5:00 p.m. on the day prior to the day scheduled for collection of rubbish.

[Added 9-2-1992 by L.L. No. 8-1992]
Definitions. Unless otherwise expressly stated, the term "dumpster" or "waste container" shall be deemed to mean any container used in the normal course of demolition or construction for the purpose of storing, containing and/or carting debris of any kind, or any container employed for garbage or refuse collection, provided by a garbage or refuse service for commercial collection or mass storage of garbage and refuse, where the volume of the same shall exceed 55 gallons.
Permit required. No dumpster or other waste container shall be placed upon any sidewalk, street, highway or other public place within the village. No dumpster or other waste container shall be placed upon any private property within the village unless a permit shall first have been obtained and a fee as set forth in Chapter A243, Fees, Charges and Deposits, shall have been paid therefor.
Periodic garbage collection. No permit shall be required for any dumpster or waste container used for periodic garbage or refuse collection, which shall be maintained and kept inside an approved structure, placed outside for collection only after sunset on the evening prior to such pickup and replaced inside immediately after the pickup.
Every permit obtained for the maintenance of a dumpster or waste container shall expire 30 days after the date of issuance with an approved building permit if one is required; a new permit may be obtained upon application, for good cause shown, by payment of a new permit fee. Where a building permit has been issued and a dumpster permit shall have been issued in connection with the construction on the property, in the event of the expiration or cancellation of the building permit, the dumpster permit shall expire simultaneously therewith.
[Amended 11-10-1999 by L.L. No. 3-1999; 12-4-2006 by L.L. No. 5-2006]

No dumpster or waste container shall create an offensive odor, be a health hazard or become a nuisance.
All dumpsters and waste containers shall be covered at all times so as to prevent tampering or entry by unauthorized persons and to hinder the creation of offensive odors, health hazards and nuisances.

In the event of the violation of any provision hereunder, in addition to such other penalty or remedy available to the village, the dumpster permit may be canceled by the Board of Trustees, upon notice to the holder thereof.[1]
