Resident urges enforcement of Grafton's garbage-can ordinance
Summary
A resident asked the council to enforce the ordinance requiring garbage cans at curbside rather than bagged trash and to address early placement during spring cleanup; staff proposed notices in the paper and on utility bills.
During the public petitions portion of the meeting, resident Diane Hoverson told the council that some citizens are placing garbage bags at the street instead of using garbage cans as required by ordinance and that during spring cleanup residents often put trash out up to three weeks early, creating an untidy streetscape.
City Administrator Nick Ziegelmann said staff could place an advertisement in the local paper and add a notice to utility bills reminding residents that garbage cans are required for weekly trash pickup. No formal enforcement motion or timeline was recorded in the minutes.
