Ice Storm Debris
It has come to the Township’s attention that some property owners are dumping ice storm brush debris in road right-of-way’s or on property belonging to someone else.
Greenwood Township Nuisance Ordinance #05082018-3 of 2018 defines brush as rubbish. Under this Ordinance, “The placing of ashes, junk, garbage or rubbish on private property without the owner’s permission or on public property”, is a violation. Any person who violates this Ordinance is responsible for a municipal civil infraction and subject to a fine of up to $500 for each day that the Ordinance is violated.
