Summary
Dumping rubbish, construction waste, or other refuse on any Little Chute street, sidewalk, alley, or someone else's property without permission is unlawful under the village code.
(a) Unlawful dumping. It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit or cause to be deposited, dump, sort, scatter or leave any rubbish, stone, wire, earth, ashes, cinders, sawdust, hay, glass, manure, filth, paper, snow, ice, grass, leaves, construction waste, garbage or other offensive or noxious material in any public street, sidewalk, alley, or upon any public property or upon any property of another, without the express permission of the owner or occupant thereof.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 18 Update 1).
Full Breakdown
Village Code bars anyone from depositing, dumping, sorting, or scattering rubbish, ashes, sawdust, glass, manure, snow, construction waste, garbage or other offensive material on a public street, sidewalk, alley, or public or private property without the owner's express permission. A separate provision targets vehicles that drop mud or debris while leaving private property: the driver must stop and remove it immediately, and if a property owner's vehicle traffic leaves mud on a street, the director of public works can clean it up and bill the owner.
Violations & Fines
The section doesn't spell out a flat fine, but a driver or property owner who fails to clean up dropped mud or dumped material can have the village perform the cleanup and bill the owner for the cost plus a 20 percent administrative charge, added to the property tax roll if unpaid by October 31.
