[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Monroe 6-13-2017 by L.L. No.

The Village of Monroe has determined that containers and dumpsters
placed or deposited upon Village streets and roadways by contractors,
renovating, remodeling or constructing structures adjacent thereto
present a danger to members of the public traveling upon the Village
streets or highways by motor vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or on foot.
The purpose of this chapter is to regulate such use. The regulations
set forth below are intended to ensure the safety of the members of
the public using the Village's street and highways.

No dumpster or container shall be placed on any Village street or
highway without the owner or lessee of the container having applied
for and received a dumpster permit from the Village of Monroe Building
Department.

leasing the container or dumpster;

(5)
A description of the debris to be placed in the container or dumpster;
(6)
Duration of the placement; and

The measures to be employed to illuminate the container or dumpster
during dusk and evening hours.

(1)
Every application for a container or dumpster permit shall be accompanied
by proof of the existence of a liability insurance policy in the minimum
sum of $1,000,000 naming the Village of Monroe as an additional insured
to protect the Village from any claim for damage or injury to person
or property resulting from the placement of the container or dumpster
in a Village street or highway.
(2)
The liability insurance policy required hereunder shall be written
by an insurance company authorized to transact business in the State
of New York and shall state on the face thereof that it is not cancelable
by the insurance carrier except on 30 days' prior notice to the
Village Clerk of the Village of Monroe.
E.
Proscription. No food or household garbage shall be deposited into
the container or dumpster while on a Village street or highway.
A.
Any person violating the provisions of this chapter may be issued
a notice of violation by the Village Building Inspector or police
officer, and, if such violation continues beyond the time stated in
the notice of violation for its abatement, it shall constitute an
offense against the provisions of this chapter.
B.
Any violation of any provision of chapter shall be subject, upon
conviction, to a penalty or fine up to and not to exceed $250 per
day or not to exceed a term of imprisonment for 15 days, or both,
except as otherwise provided herein. Each and every violation and,
in the case of a continuing violation, each day's continuance
thereof, should be deemed a separate and distinct offense.
