Glasgow Prohibited Practices ordinance (§ 230.320)

Chapter 230: Solid Waste

In short: Residents may not put trash in someone else's container without written consent or to dodge fees, use park, street, school or church containers for household waste, interfere with trash collectors or equipment, burn trash without an approved incinerator or variance, or dump at unapproved sites. Only leaves and brush are allowed at the City dump. Hauling waste for business requires a city permit.

Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.
