Residents press board to enforce rules after trash cans left out and overflowing
Summary
Residents and a village agent reported overflowing curbside trash and urged the board to use police or code enforcement; trustees discussed enforcement options including summons and a part‑time code officer.
Olivia, a village agent, said trash cans and bags were being left at curbs and overflowing days after pickup, which she warned could lead to pests and a poor appearance that would dissuade visitors. "They're full and overflowing a couple days after pickup," Olivia said, asking what action the board had taken to address the recurring issue.
Trustees discussed enforcement options: some urged use of police direction and issuance of summonses through the court process; others pointed to limits and manpower constraints and suggested considering a part‑time code enforcement officer. A trustee noted code timelines for putting out and returning bins (5 p.m. the night before and 11 p.m. the night of pickup) and urged residents to comply while staff explore enforcement pathways.
