[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Rhinebeck 3-8-2016 by L.L. No. 2-2016. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It is hereby declared the policy of the Village of Rhinebeck
to preserve and maintain the clean and wholesome character of its
environs and to preserve and maintain the health and welfare of its
residents within the incorporated area of the Village, and in so doing
it is necessary to establish regulations governing the collection
and disposal of yard waste materials within the Village of Rhinebeck.
Materials compiled in the process of a normal spring/fall yard
cleanup of property in the Village shall be collected by Village collection
crews. Spring cleanup will be conducted on a continuous basis between
April 1 through May 15 of each year. Fall cleanup will be conducted
on a continuous basis between October 1 and December 1 of each year.
Materials collected upon the provisions of this chapter shall
include sand accumulated in yards from being spread upon roads during
the winter season, brush, limbs (up to four feet in length and eight
inches in diameter) and leaves. Such materials shall not include garbage,
such as kitchen wastes, building materials, stones, lumber or man-made
materials or other similar discarded items which may be picked up
by means of commercial refuse haulers. Grass clippings are prohibited
in all clean up periods. All material placed in front of the property
for pickup shall be generated from that property; no other debris
from any other source shall be included.
At such time as the Village Board adopts a motion pursuant to § 38-2 above, said Board shall also designate, by motion, no less than one weekday per month for regular pickup of brush, limbs and leaves providing for such collection during the period of June 1 through September 30. Yard waste may be placed at the curb the weekend before the established collection date.
Such material shall be placed in front of the property but not
in the gutter, covering any stormwater drain, or in a location that
impedes the flow of traffic. Placement of materials for pickup in
front of the property may begin no earlier than 4:00 p.m. on the Friday
preceding the scheduled pickup. Placement of yard waste at the front
of the property at any other time shall constitute a violation of
this chapter.
A.
The Superintendent of Public Works of the Village of Rhinebeck and
such other person as may be designated by resolution of the Village
Board are hereby authorized and directed to enforce this chapter,
to cause collections to be made according to this chapter and to cause
to be printed and distributed proper notice to notify persons governed
by this chapter of the dates and times for waste collection and of
any rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this chapter.
B.
The Superintendent of Public Works is hereby authorized to issue
and serve appearance tickets and/or summonses with respect to violations
of this chapter.
