[Adopted 7-12-1983 by L.L. No. 3-1983]
It shall be the duty of every owner, tenant,
lessee, occupant or person in charge of any and every building to
provide and cause to be kept and provided, within and for the exclusive
use of such building or part thereof, separate receptacles, made of
metal or plastic, for holding, respectively, without leakage all ashes,
garbage, refuse and liquid-waste substances that may accumulate in
or through the use of such building or part thereof.
Every owner, tenant, lessee, occupant or person
in charge of any such building shall cause to be put into such receptacles
all such materials and substances; but no such receptacle shall be
filled to a greater height than the top of said receptacle, nor shall
any such receptacle when so filled contain more than four cubic feet
of material nor weigh more than 100 pounds; and every such receptacle
shall be kept, at all times, covered and in a condition satisfactory
to the Rockland County Health Department and the Town Board of the
Town of Stony Point.
Such receptacles shall be kept within the building
or in the rear of the building so as not to be visible from the street
or in a closed shed appurtenant to the building, until the evening
before the day set for removal of such substances. At the time for
collection, such receptacles shall be placed in the area in front
of the building at curbside or on the sidewalk in front of the building
as close as practicable to the curb. Within eight hours after the
contents have been removed by the refuse or garbage collectors, such
receptacles shall be returned to such building or to the rear of the
premises or to an appropriate storage shed. Every garbage, refuse
or liquid-waste storage receptacle shall be kept at all times covered
with a tight-fitting lid or cover.
Newspapers, wrapping paper or other light refuse
and rubbish likely to be blown or scattered about the streets shall
be securely bundled, tied or packed before being placed for removal,
and such newspapers, wrapping paper and other light refuse and rubbish,
as well as all other refuse and rubbish, shall be kept within the
building or in the rear of the premises or in an appurtenant shed
or outbuilding until the time for removal thereof, when they shall
be placed as the receptacles above-mentioned are required by the provisions
of this article to be placed.
Yard sweepings, hedge cuttings, grass, leaves
and similar material may be bagged in securely sealed plastic refuse
bags for collection.
