Garbage Ordinance Code Section 3-1.11
Dear Cudahy Residents,
The City Mayor and City Council, along with the City Manager and his staff are seeking your utmost cooperation and participation in preventing the
discarding of old and unused miscellaneous items onto the city’s streets, curbs or sidewalks.
Within the past two (2) months, there has been a recent increase in which many Cudahy residents have been placing and discarding their old furniture,
mattresses refrigerators, stoves and other large miscellaneous items like tires, dryers, washers, etc…onto the city’s streets, curbs and sidewalks.
This action by our residents is causing the appearance of the city to depreciate and harm the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City.
Therefore, we would like to inform you of the Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3-1.11 which states the following.
"No person shall place, throw, deposit, or dump, or cause to be placed, deposited, thrown, or dumped, any garbage, can,
bottle, paper, dirt, sand, rock, cement, glass, metal, lumber refuse, plants, cuttings, trash, old discarded furniture or appliances, or any nauseous
offensive matter in or upon any public or private road, highway, street, alley, sidewalk, curb, public way, or private property of any kind."
This section also states that if anyone is caught in violation of this ordinance, he or she is subject to a fine of not less than fifty ($50.00+) dollars
for each separate violation.
We would also like to inform you that Cudahy residents can place their large items on the curb after 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday evening or before 6:00 a.m. on
Wednesday. There is NO charge to our residents for this service. If you place a refrigerator out on the curb, please remove all doors before placing it out.
This will insure the safety of and prevent any children from playing in it.
We deeply thank all of the Cudahy residents for their cooperation, participation and for understanding the need in maintaining and improving the
appearance of the City.
Sincerely,
George A. Perez
City Manager
