Reminder of Ordinance 2025-09 passed in the fall of 2025 prohibiting the deposit of grass and other yard waste onto public streets and roadways in the Village.
No person shall intentionally or negligently cause or permit grass clippings or other yard waste to be deposited, discharged, swept or blown onto any public roadway within the Village of Oak Hill.
Grass clippings means any cut or mowed grass, leaves or other vegetative debris resulting from lawn maintenance or landscaping activities.
Public roadway means any street, alley, sidewalk or rother right of way maintained by the Village of Oak Hill for public use.
Any person who causes or permits grass clippings or yard waste to be deposited on public roadway shall immediately remove such material. Grass clippings and other yard waste on public streets and roadways creates hazardous conditions for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians, particularly when wet. Also such materials can obstruct stormwater drainage systems, contributing to localized flooding and increased maintenance costs.
