STATEMENT: Wisconsin Statute 346.94(5) prohibits anyone from placing or causing to be placed upon a highway any foreign substance which is or may be injurious to any vehicle. This prohibits anyone from plowing, shoveling or blowing snow onto a public road. A penalty for violating this statute is $50.00 for each offense. Additionally, Section 86.002 makes is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine to place any obstruction in a road ditch which will impede drainage. As such individuals should not be filling ditches with compacted snow. Furthermore, piles of snow placed in a ditch or shoulder of the road can cause sight distance, drifting and equipment damage problems
DO NOT PUSH SNOW ONTO ROADS
Where & How to Place Your Garbage Can During Winter
Heavy snow accumulation, icy roads and/or poor visibility during winter maintenance activities can make it difficult for snowplows to avoid garbage cans placed alongside the road. During snowstorms it may be necessary to postpone putting your trash out on pick-up days. Do not place garbage cans in the road. Most garbage trucks are equipped with a hydraulic extending arm that grasps garbage cans. It is recommended that garbage cans be placed at least 3 to 5 feet off the edge of pavement, into your driveway, so they are out of the way of the snowplow or snow being pushed aside while the snowplow is going down the road. Timing is everything. Putting your trash out the night before collection day can make life easier, but this puts your receptacle at risk of damage during nighttime snowplowing operations. Getting up a bit early in the morning to handle this chore can avoid having garbage cans knocked over by strong winter winds or snowplows. Empty cans are vulnerable to winds and snow removal operations and could cause a hazard if knocked into the roadway. Prompt removal of empty containers is recommended. These tips can make garbage collection day safer and easier for snowplow and garbage truck drivers.
