Ogdensburg council adopts ordinance regulating refuse containers and dumpsters
Summary
The Ogdensburg Mayor and Council adopted Ordinance 12-2023, adding section 18-9 to the borough code to regulate refuse containers and dumpsters. The measure passed unanimously with no public comment. The ordinance amends Chapter 18 under the borough’s MS4 provisions.
The Ogdensburg Mayor and Council voted to adopt Ordinance 12-2023 on Sept. 11, amending Chapter 18 of the borough code to add Section 18-9 addressing refuse containers and dumpsters. Councilman John Ciasullo moved adoption, Councilman Michael Poyer seconded, and the measure passed by roll call: yeas — Ciasullo, Cowdrick, Poyer and Ruitenberg; absent — Alvarez and DeMeo.
Mayor George P. Hutnick opened the floor for public comment on the ordinance before the final vote; no members of the public spoke. The ordinance was presented as an update to the borough’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) community-wide ordinances and clarifies local rules on refuse containers and dumpsters.
The action was procedural and did not include amendments during that meeting. Council members said no substantive public objections were raised during the public-comment period. The ordinance will be filed and become part of the borough code as provided under local procedural rules.
The adoption follows the council’s intent to clarify collection and storage standards for refuse containers and to align the borough’s code language with existing MS4 requirements. No effective-date language was recorded in the minutes for Sept. 11; implementation timing will follow standard municipal procedures.
