In order to implement a program of recycling in conjunction
with ordinary waste collections, residents of every household whose
trash is collected by the Town or its agent shall separate waste materials
into the following categories before depositing same for collection:
The recyclables of glass, cans, and paper shall be deposited
in containers supplied for this purpose. All such recyclables shall
become the property of the Town. The recyclables collected by the
Town shall be transported to and disposed of at a materials recovery
facility.
The Select Board, with approval of the Board of Health, shall
negotiate a contract with the materials recovery facility which is
economically acceptable. This bylaw shall not take effect until a
materials recovery facility commences operation and shall then take
effect within six months after the facility commences operation.
Any person violating any provision of this bylaw or the regulations
enacted hereunder shall be fined not more than $50 for each offense.
This bylaw and the various parts, sentences, sections and clauses
thereof are hereby declared to be severable. If any part, sentence,
section or clause is adjudged invalid, it is hereby provided that
the remainder of this bylaw shall not be affected thereby.
