Nuisance (Use of Public Property) By-law

The by-law stipulates that no person shall throw, drop, place, or otherwise deposit debris on City property. Specific examples: 

Leaves

Pushing leaves onto the road creates a potential liability to others, reduces visibility to motorists, creates a distraction and is a hazard for children. Leaves can be bagged and set out at the curb on your scheduled yard waste collection day, or taken to the landfill.

Basketball or Hockey Nets

You can move out a portable net onto the road to actively use, but it must be removed from the City property (boulevards, curbs etc.) when not in use. Nets on the road become a hazard for curbside collection trucks and other vehicles, and hinder maintenance that may be required on the street.  

The by-law stipulates that no person shall throw, drop, place, or otherwise deposit garbage, paper, paper or plastic products, cans, rubbish, or other debris:

• on any City property, unless authorized by the City. 
• on any private property not owned by such person, unless so authorized by the private property owner.

The by-law stipulates that no person shall deposit or cause to be deposited snow on City property. 

Pushing snow onto the road creates unsafe driving & walking conditions, & increases the cost of winter road maintenance. When clearing snow, help keep everyone safe by keeping it on your property.
