[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Manlius 4-24-1990 by L.L. No. 3-1990; amended in its entirety 10-10-2000 by L.L. No.
7-2000. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The reduction of the amount of solid waste and conservation of recyclable materials is an important public concern because of the increasing cost of solid waste collection and disposal and its impact on the environment. The separation and collection of recyclable materials will serve the general public's interest in our Village by reducing the amount of solid waste and will otherwise comply with the Onondaga County Source Separation Law (Local Law No. 12 of 1989) and other applicable provision of law. In 1988, in the interest of public health, safety and welfare and in order to conserve energy and natural resources, the State of New York enacted a New York State Solid Waste Management Plan under which the state solid waste management priorities were established as waste reduction, reuse, recycling and waste-to-energy (see New York Environmental Conservation Law § 27-0106), with land burial as a last resort only when reuse, recycling or waste-to-energy were unavailable. The State Solid Waste Management Plan Section B-35 in 1988 recommended that Onondaga County take immediate steps to develop environmentally acceptable facilities to manage the solid waste generated in the county. In December 1991, Onondaga County adopted a Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan that was subsequently approved by the State Department of Environmental Conservation. The county plan, applicable to municipalities within the county, preferred waste-to-energy as a safe and sanitary alternative to the threat to the groundwater supply and other liabilities posed by the burying of such waste. Those reasons are further delineated in Section 5 of the aforementioned county plan. Public Authorities Law § 2045-e, Subdivisions 7 and 8 allow the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency to contract with municipalities for the delivery of such waste and, in furtherance thereof, to process such solid waste. In compliance with both the state and county solid waste management plans, the Village of Manlius has determined that all solid waste, both residential and commercial, generated in our Village and destined for disposal in the State of New York may not be disposed of at any place other than the approved disposal site designated by the Village Board in § 60-2 hereof. The basis of that determination is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference.[1] This chapter will also establish and refine regulations
requiring the licensing of municipal haulers and governing hauler
services for the collection and disposal of solid waste materials.

to the Village collector upon pickup.
B.
No person, except the Village, shall duplicate or
imitate a Village sticker or sell or issue in any manner a Village

whereby different types of waste generators are separately classified
and charged different fees in relation to the value of services rendered
and such other factors as are deemed reasonable and appropriate.
D.

a supply of Village stickers to property owners or occupants along
with a statement indicating the fee thereof, any such statements not

Such other waste material may include, for example, construction and demolition wastes.
C.
The Village shall not be responsible for collecting
any hazardous waste or waste material that has been placed or prepared
in ways that do not comply with all the provisions of this chapter,
nor shall the Village be obligated to collect waste material generated
from property which is exempt from real property taxation.
D.
The Village Board or its designee may establish such
implementing rules and regulations as may be necessary or appropriate

Where certain solid waste, recyclables and/or
other waste materials were not collected because those materials were
not placed or prepared by the waste generator in accordance with the
provisions of this chapter, the person who placed such materials for
collection and the owner of the property adjoining the curb where
such waste materials were placed shall remove those wastes from the
location as soon as possible after the hauler has refused collection

or other waste material at or near a curb for collection by the Village
without complying with all the provisions of this chapter, the Village

In addition to those fees provided for in § 60-18 of this chapter, the Village Board, by resolution, may designate and impose such other fees as it deems reasonable and appropriate in relation to the collection and disposal of any waste material, including without limitation, recyclables. After any such fees are imposed, the manner of implementation and collection shall be by regulation of the Village Board or its designee not inconsistent with the terms of the resolution imposing such fees.

no hauler shall deposit or cause to be deposited or stored for more
than one day upon any property any solid waste and/or recyclables.

disposal devices, provided that the same produce no smoke or odor
and do not become or are not nuisances or hazards.
