Municipalities can extend solid waste management regulations to nuisance properties with scrap accumulations.

This bill amends Vermont law to allow municipalities to extend solid waste management regulations to properties that are public nuisances due to the accumulation of rubbish, scrap, junk, or abandoned vehicles. The municipal ordinance must be consistent with state regulations. The property owner must be notified before penalties or fines are imposed, and unpaid fines become a lien on the property. The bill also includes provisions for roadside cleanup and penalties for violations.
