Junk & Trash
The City's junk and trash ordinances are designed to protect all neighborhoods in Aurora. The City operates an outstanding program for the disposal of solid waste, and junk and trash ordinances are designed to address materials that the public chooses not to dispose of or disposes of incorrectly. This program is important because junk and trash:
-
Attracts vermin and insects creating a potential health hazard
-
Is unsightly and can cause offensive odors
-
Creates a potential fire hazard
-
Detracts from the overall beauty and desirability of the City
-
Reduces adjacent property values and prevent neighbors from having full enjoyment of their property
-
Keeps potentially recyclable and usable materials from being put back to productive use
Violators may be ticketed. Additionally, the City is authorized to remove junk from private property after due notice with the cost of removal as well as escalating fines being charged to the owner.
Reporting Violations
Violations may be reported to the City of Aurora's Customer Service Division online or by calling 630-256-INFO (4636).
