Northbrook rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Northbrook, a portable storage unit such as a POD needs a village permit, must sit entirely on private property without blocking the sidewalk, and may be used no more than 15 days in any 90-day period.
Northbrook requires a village permit before a POD or dumpster is placed, and both must sit entirely on private property, off the sidewalk, for no more than 15 days in any 90-day period, with one unit per property. Trailers and second division vehicles licensed over 8,000 pounds may stay on a residential street only as long as loading reasonably takes, and business vehicles and trailers can't be parked on village streets between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. After two inches of snow in 24 hours, a snow emergency starts and any car left on a public street is treated as a hazardous vehicle under the towing rules.
