In Canton, any vehicle, material or obstruction left in a street, sidewalk or public place overnight must have a sufficient light and suitable guards, and it may not stay after a police officer, constable or the Select Board gives notice to remove it. The general bylaws also bar leaving boxes, crates, trunks, packages or other items on a public way or sidewalk for more than one hour, or more than ten minutes after a police officer says to remove them. The noise bylaw treats noise over 50 dBA between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. as unreasonable, and bulk-item and white-good pickups are scheduled through Republic Services at a set rate per item.
