Street Obstruction Permit

Residents or businesses seeking to utilize a dumpster, container or other type of street obstruction and have it located in the public roadway must first apply for and obtain a street obstruction permit from the township clerk’s office. Note that there is no fee associated with this permit.

The permit will be valid for a period of seven days and may be renewed for additional seven day periods, but not to exceed more than a total of thirty days.

Requirements

Any dumpster, container or other type of street obstruction placed on or along the roadway must be equipped with markers consisting of all yellow reflective diamond-shaped panels having a minimum size of 18 x 18 inches. These panels must be mounted at the edge of the dumpster, container or other type of street obstruction at both ends nearest the path of passing vehicles and facing the direction of oncoming traffic. These markers must have a minimum height of 3 feet from the bottom of the panels to the surface of the roadway.
