Oakbrook Terrace council approves new trash-placement times; refuse may be placed afternoon before pickup
Summary
Council moved an amendment to the city's solid waste code to allow refuse to be placed at 3:00 p.m. the day before scheduled collection and requires removal from the roadway shoulder by 10:00 p.m. on collection day.
Council members advanced an amendment to Section 51.03 of the Oakbrook Terrace Municipal Code to change permitted refuse placement times. Under the amendment discussed March 10, residents may place refuse at 3:00 p.m. on the day before scheduled collection; refuse must be removed from the roadway shoulder by 10:00 p.m. on the day of collection.
City staff moved the ordinance to the Consent Agenda. The change is intended to clarify when refuse can be set out to reduce overnight obstruction of road shoulders and to create an enforceable removal time for collection days; the minutes did not provide enforcement details or penalties.
