There is hereby established a program that requires the separation of designated recyclables from other solid waste prior to a commercial hauler's delivery of said designated recyclables and solid waste at the town's recycling center. Participation in the program is mandatory. Failure to participate may render commercial haulers liable to penalties set forth in Article IX.
A.
The Town Board, by resolution, shall set forth the
recyclable materials to be separated from all other solid waste pursuant
to this article.
C.
Resolutions passed by the Town Board pursuant to Subsection A shall set forth the effective date for separation of the designated recyclables. Publication of notice of the adoption of such resolutions in the official newspaper of the Town is required prior to the effective date.
D.
The list of designated recyclables may be amended
from time to time; however, at least once a year, at the Town Board's
annual organizational meeting, the Town Board shall pass a resolution
listing the designated recyclables. Said list shall be published in
the town's official newspaper.
A.
Each person who uses the services provided by a commercial hauler shall be responsible for the separation of designated recyclables from other solid waste. The designated recyclables shall be set forth in resolutions passed by the Town Board pursuant to § 204-21.
B.
A commercial hauler may require its customers to place
designated recyclables into different receptacles for collection on
such day or days as the commercial hauler shall designate.
C.
The ultimate responsibility for the proper separation of designated recyclables from other solid waste shall rest upon the commercial hauler. The Town shall refuse to accept solid waste and designated recyclables delivered by a commercial hauler to the town's recycling center where said solid waste and recyclables have not been separated in the manner required pursuant to resolutions of the Town Board as provided for in § 204-21.
D.
Nothing in this section shall prohibit a commercial hauler from providing post-collection separation beyond what is stated in § 204-22A and B such as separation of solid waste and designated recyclables at the commercial hauler's properly licensed facility prior to delivery at a Town recycling center.
[Amended 6-25-1996 by L.L. No. 10-1996]
E.
No commercial hauler shall encourage, direct or instruct
any paying customer to avoid compliance with any provisions of this
chapter or to use as a marketing tool the promise of not requiring
a paying customer to abide by the sections of this chapter.
[Added 6-25-1996 by L.L. No. 10-1996]
[Added 5-21-1993 by L.L. No. 11-1993; amended 6-2-2000 by L.L. No. 11-2000]
Any and all solid waste and designated recyclables,
when stored outside a building, shall be placed in securely covered
containers. Such containers shall be placed only in a side or rear
yard and, except as provided below, shall not be placed any nearer
than 20 feet to the street line of a parcel. Placement of such containers
at curbside is expressly prohibited. The Ordinance Enforcement Department
may modify any of the foregoing requirements in response to a written
request by a commercial hauler, on a form supplied by the Ordinance
Enforcement Department, that demonstrates hardship with regard to
compliance with this section.
