Road Right-of-Way

Town road right-of-way is 33 feet from the center line of any town road.

Please do not install items (i.e. fencing, landscaping, sprinklers, or lawn markers) within this right-of-way; the Town is not responsible for any damage that may occur to these objects.

Large items in the right-of-way can present direct hazard and impede vision at intersections which can pose liability issues.

Please see  Ordinance No. 19-15-05 Road Right of Way

Garbage Can Placement

Garbage and recycling bins are only allowed on the edge of your yard or driveway on your collection day and should be at least 5 feet off the road, in your driveway or yard.  They are NEVER allowed on the shoulder of the road or across the road from your residence.  If your garbage hauler requests anything different, they are asking you to violate town road right-of-way ordinances and you are subject to a citation.

For safety reasons, if your bins are an obstacle during a snowplowing operation, the drivers will NOT exit their vehicles to move them.  The drivers are not responsible for damages or spills due to garbage bins in the shoulder or traveled portion of the road.
