Barrels should be placed in driveway opening or an area cleared of snow on the tree belt between the sidewalk and street. Placing refuse and recycling barrels in any portion of the roadway is a violation of Town Ordinance. Barrels placed in the road are a safety issue for traffic by forcing collection vehicles into the travel lane portion of the road to collect instead of traveling the curb line for collection. Barrels in the road also do not allow snow plow vehicles to widen roads to their fullest extent for safe passage of traffic, school buses, and emergency vehicle.
