Town plans fee for trash cans left on curb too long

PLEASANT GROVE -- The town of Pleasant Grove plans to fine residents who leave their trash cans on the curb too long.

The Daily Herald reports the city council approved the new fee this week to help keep neighborhoods tidy. It states that leaving garbage cans on the curb for 48 hours after the garbage has been collected can result in a $50 fine.

The fine also can apply to residents with excessive weeds, illegal garage sale signs, and accumulation of junk. There is a $100 fine for dirt, rocks and other materials left in the road.

The paper says the city plans to hand out written warnings before issuing fines. The city says some residents are leaving their garbage cans out on the curb all week long.
