[Adopted 5-16-1962 (Ch. 71 of the 1991 Code)]
By the adoption of this article, the Town Board of the Town
of North Collins declares its intent to be to regulate, in a manner
consistent with the interest of the citizens of the Town of North
Collins, the dumping of garbage, rubbish, refuse and similar waste
material on lands within the Town and to provide for the disposal
thereof on established Town dumps. Garbage is a deleterious substance,
and garbage dumps emit obnoxious odors and fumes. Unattended, private
garbage dumps and disposal areas attract rodents and vermin and become
breeding places for them. The process of burning garbage causes smoke
and oxidized garbage to be given off into the air which the community
breathes. All of these conditions can adversely affect the development
of the Town, unless they are properly and carefully regulated. Therefore,
recognizing the above and the need of the community for an adequate
and well-regulated procedure for the disposal of garbage and rubbish
and in the exercise of its police power in these regards, the Town
Board of the Town of North Collins does hereby enact the following
article.
This article shall apply to dumping upon all lands, public or
private, within this Town, except upon such premises as are or may
be lawfully established as a public dump or dumping grounds for this
Town and thereon only in the manner herein provided.
No person shall use any of the lands within the Town of North
Collins as a dump or dumping grounds open to public use, except as
otherwise provided herein.
A.
No person shall deposit or cause to be deposited any substance of
any kind on the premises established as a public dump of this Town,
except at the places and in the manner directed by the person in charge
of the premises under the authority of the Town Board, if such person
is so designated, or by a sign or signs erected upon the premises
by the authority of the Town Board.
B.
No person shall deposit or cause to be deposited on the premises
established as a public dump of this Town any substance of any kind
which originated or was collected from outside of the Town of North
Collins, except by permission of the Town Board and subject to conditions
imposed by the Town Board.
[Amended 12-4-1991 by L.L. No. 2-1991]

No person who does not reside or conduct an established business
in the Town of North Collins may deposit or cause to be deposited

[Added 12-4-1991 by L.L. No. 2-1991]

the provisions of this article shall be guilty of an offense and,

Town Board may also maintain an action or proceeding in the name of
the Town in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel compliance
with or to restrain by injunction the violation of this article.
