Discarded building or construction materials,
yard clippings, tree stumps and branches and similar materials produced,
accumulated or resulting from construction, alteration work, landscaping,
tree removal or other home repair, maintenance or improvement do not
come within the scope of this chapter and must be collected and disposed
of by and at the expense of the independent contractor or by the owner

of the collection and disposal authority, control and administration
of the village, but which premises are not assessed by the village,
and the governmental agency is not entitled to municipal refuse or
garbage collection as a matter of law, the Village DPW may render
such service to such premises, upon resolution by the Board of Trustees,

as representative of the cost to the village of such collection, to
be billed the agency in arrears on the last day of each month and

are subject to any unnecessary danger or hazard.
