MACEDONIA – After amendments were made to eliminate a requirement to obtain a permit and pay a fee, City Council on Jan. 28 approved legislation regulating portable on-demand storage devices, construction dumpsters and dumpster bags.
The new ordinance allows one POD or construction dumpster to remain on a property where there is an existing residential dwelling for up to 60 days. It must be located on a paved area unless a driveway has not yet been installed.
PODS and construction dumpsters must be located entirely on the owner’s lot and as close to the home as possible, and no part of them can be located on public property or in the public right-of-way.
