Pursuant to § 4-412 of the Village Law of the State
of New York, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Amityville hereby
adopts a local law regarding the collection and disposal of residential
solid waste within the Village.
The Board of Trustees hereby finds that the collection and disposal
of residential solid waste generated within the Village, and the encouragement
of recycling of a portion of such residential solid waste, is a proper
public function. The Board further finds that the most effective way
to achieve compliance with the New York State Environmental Quality
Review Act and to assure the continued efficient collection of residential
solid waste is to participate as a part of the Town of Babylon Solid
Waste Improvement Area.
In furtherance of the public purpose of encouraging recycling
of solid waste, commencing immediately, all residents of the Village
shall separate newspapers, recyclable plastic and glass from ordinary
household solid waste. Such separated materials shall be placed by
Village residents at curbside and shall be collected separately from
other household solid waste on Wednesday of each week.
A.
Solid
waste may be collected within the residential zoning districts only
during the hours beginning at 6:00 a.m. and ending at 7:00 p.m.
B.
No
garbage, rubbish, refuse or other residential solid waste shall be
placed out by the street for collection more than 24 hours prior to
a scheduled pickup.
It shall be a violation of this article to place garbage, rubbish,
refuse or other residential solid waste on the paved portion of the
street or on the paved sidewalk, if any.
No dumpsters or roll-offs shall be permitted in any public street
or right-of-way, nor shall same be stored for more than 30 days on
private property used for residential purposes.
The cost of such service shall be collected from the Village
residents at a per-household fee by the Town of Babylon along with
other fees and charges set forth and shall be collected together with
the town real property tax bills.
In furtherance of such purpose, commencing immediately, no persons
other than the Village or the Village's designated contractor shall
be entitled to collect residential solid waste within the Village.
