Grove City: section 1137.20 on dumpsters at homes
Grove City handles dumpsters in its zoning code, not with a street permit. At a single-family house the box must stay off the right-of-way.
- New construction
- Up to 3 months without written approval from the Chief Building Official, then as long as reasonably needed to finish. An unpaved driveway is fine if it is outside the right-of-way.
- Remodel or addition
- Up to 3 months per calendar year without approval, on a paved surface outside the right-of-way.
- How many
- One at a time on a single-family lot unless the Chief Building Official approves more in writing.
- Removal
- Before the certificate of occupancy is issued.
- Outside debris
- Trash, yard waste or debris from other properties may not be brought to a dumpster at a house.
Section 1137.20 dates from Ord. C26-06, passed May 1, 2006. The online code warns it may lag recent changes, so check with the city before a long project.
