Findlay council adopts donation-bin zoning ordinance
Summary
Council adopted a new donation-bin zoning ordinance (Ord. 20‑25‑130) on third reading to regulate placement of donation bins in the city; vote was recorded by roll call.
On Nov. 5 Findlay City Council adopted Ordinance 20‑25‑130, enacting a donation‑bin zoning chapter (new Chapter 1161). The ordinance received a third reading and was approved by roll-call vote. Council members moved and seconded the adoption without extended debate.
Supporters said the ordinance was needed to regulate placement, appearance, and safety of donation bins after local complaints. The ordinance language establishes permitted locations and administrative requirements for operators; council did not expand the scope during the third reading. The ordinance becomes law as adopted and staff will implement enforcement consistent with the zoning code.
What to expect: The administration and zoning staff will publish the new location rules and enforcement steps; operators will be required to comply with the new chapter and obtain any needed approvals.
