NOTICE CONCERNING SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL FROM SIDEWALKS
| |
|
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT CHAPTER 70 OF THE WESTON MUNICIPAL CODE OF ORDINANCES WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.
Sec. 70.104. Depositing snow removal. "It shall be unlawful for any person to push or deposit snow, or cause snow to be pushed or deposited from his own personal driveway or parking area into the public streets and/or right-of-way so as to cause a nuisance or obstruction. The village may cause such deposits of snow to be removed from the street, and the cost of such removal shall be charged to the property owner."
Sec. 70.112. Cleaning of sidewalks. "The owner of property or the party in possession of the property abutting on any sidewalk shall, without notice and at all times, keep such abutting sidewalk clean and free from debris, dirt, sweepings, obstructions and clear of snow and ice and shall not deposit or place any sweepings or debris or other foreign matter upon the sidewalk, or in the street. Snow and ice shall be removed within 48 hours. If any owner shall fail or neglect to keep any sidewalk free of debris, dirt, sweepings, obstructions, snow or ice, the Village may proceed to clear such sidewalk and shall charge the expense, as defined by the Village Board in the village schedule of fees, thereof as a special tax against the premises to be collected as other taxes on real estate. The Village may, but shall not be required to, give notice to the owners of the property before providing for the Village to clear such walks."
The Village will be responsible for clearing sidewalks, walkways, driveways, and parking lots around Village-owned and maintained buildings and properties.

FALL YARD MATERIAL PICK-UP
| |
|
This year's Fall Yard Materials Pick-up started on Monday, October 13, 2014. As of Wednesday November 12th, approximately 500 dump truck loads of material had been picked up by the Village crew. Unfortunately due to the early onset of winter, material pick-up was halted for a few days to take care of the recent snowfall. Yard material pick-up started up again on Thursday Nov. 13th to finish up the Thursday refuse route.
Crews will be going around with a front end loader picking up the remainder of the material that is visible through the snow as time allows. We ask that you do not bring more material out to the roadside as the crews try to finish up. Any material that is left out at the side of the road can always be brought to the Village's yard waste site (free of charge) located at 8200 Ryan St (1/4 mile south of Weston Ave.) When bringing items to the yard material site, please remove leaves from bags and dispose of the bags in the provided container.
Below is one of our new informational Weston V-Chat videos. This video is all about the Weston yard materials pick-up and our Yard Waste Site.
