North Judson May Pursue Trash Can Ordinance

The North Judson Town Council may consider an ordinance requiring garbage totes to be moved away from the street after trash collection.

In the past few months, trash collection has been moved to the streets from the alleys, and Republic Services has supplied residents with the garbage totes. But Clerk-Treasurer Alicia Collins says some residents have been leaving them along the streets, long after trash has been collected.

She says no formal policy is currently in place, but an ordinance may be enacted if the problem persists. The town encourages residents to remove garbage totes from the street within 24 hours after trash pickup.
