Village residents warned not to put clippings in streets

Saukville Village President Barb Dickmann wants local residents to know that it is illegal to blow grass clippings into the street and leave them there.

“That’s a violation of our village ordinances,” she said at last week’s Finance Committee meeting.

Village ordinances state: “No person shall dump or deposit any refuse or yard waste in any gutter or storm sewer along any public street, alley or highway.”

The fine is $218.50.

Public Works Director Ray deBruijn said it’s also an environmental nuisance.
