Village of Sparta issued the following announcement on Jan 15.
REMINDER: Please be mindful of where you place your trash container on your designated trash pick-up day. Trash containers should not be placed in the street as this obstructs street plowing services; trash containers are also subject to being knocked over when placed in the street. Trash containers should also not obstruct the sidewalks as this causes safety concerns for pedestrians.
Instead, trash containers should be placed in the right-of-way on your designated trash pick-up day and removed as soon as possible after pick-up. During winter months, you may want to shovel an area within the right-of-way so the snowbank secures your trash container in place while awaiting pick-up.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
