Description

Trash and Recycling bins left at curbside well more than 24 hours after pickup. Pickup is Tuesday. This is Thursday.

City website says "Both toters must be placed curbside before scheduled collections and removed within 24 hours after being collected." (http://cityofnewhaven.com/PublicWorks/Trash/Recycling.asp)

The municipal code (Sec. 30¾-12. - F) says:
"Cleanliness, location of containers. Containers must be clean and in sufficiently good condition as to not pose a hazard to the general public and collection personnel. When ready for collection, the containers are to be placed on the sidewalk next to the curb adjacent to the owner's property. They shall not be so placed earlier than twelve (12) hours prior to the next scheduled collection. The containers are to be removed from the sidewalk within twelve (12) hours of collection. Containers shall not be placed in a manner as to interfere with the public right of way."

The municipal code (Sec. 30¾-13. - C - 2) also says "Items are not to be placed on the curb for collection earlier than twelve (12) hours before the next scheduled collection. The containers are to be removed from the curbside area within twelve (12) hours of collection. Containers shall not be located as to interfere with the public right of way."

Could this be enforced, either at the 12 or 24 hour level?
