This chapter shall be known as the "Solid Waste, Litter, Hauler Regulation and Village Borrow Policy Local Law of the Village of Camillus."
As used in this chapter, except in Article VI (Solid Waste Disposal - Regulation of Haulers), the following definitions shall have the meanings indicated:
ASHES

CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION MATERIAL
Solid waste resulting from construction, remodeling, repair and demolition of structures, sidewalks, driveways and roads. Such waste includes, but is not limited to, bricks, concrete and other masonry materials, soil, rock, wood, wall coverings, plaster, drywall, plumbing fixtures, nonasbestos insulation, roofing shingles, asphaltic pavement, glass, plastics that are not sealed in a manner that conceals other wastes, electrical wiring and components containing no hazardous liquids and metals that are incidental to any of the above. Construction and demolition material shall not include asbestos waste, garbage, corrugated container board, electrical fixtures containing hazardous liquids such as fluorescent light ballasts or transformers, carpeting, furniture, appliances, tires, drums and containers and fuel tanks (even if these materials result from the construction, remodeling, repair and demolition of structures and roads). Specifically excluded from the definition of "construction and demolition material" is solid waste (including what otherwise would be construction and demolition material) resulting from any processing technique, other than that employed at a construction and demolition processing facility, that renders individual waste components unrecognizable, such as pulverizing or shredding.
