There is hereby established a program that requires the separation of designated recyclable materials from other solid waste by Town residents who self-haul solid waste materials generated at their residences to the town's recycling center for disposal.

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.
Each self-hauler shall be responsible for disposing
of designated recyclables, separated from all other solid waste, into
the appropriate receptacles provided at the town's recycling center
or as otherwise directed by Town personnel.
[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

at curbside is expressly prohibited. The Ordinance Enforcement Department
may modify any of the foregoing requirements in response to a written
request by a property owner or contractor, on a form supplied by the
Ordinance Enforcement Department, that demonstrates hardship with
regard to compliance with this section.
