It is hereby determined by the City Council
that the filling of land areas located on private property within
the City involves the safety, health and welfare of the City at large;
that many times owners and others have used combustible, unsuitable
and unsanitary materials to accomplish such landfill, thereby creating
fire hazards dangerous to life and safety of the citizens of the City
and dangerous to nearby property, creating health hazards by attracting
rodents, vermin and disease-bearing insects, endangering the health
and well being of those living in the vicinity and creating unsightly
and squalid areas which diminish the assessable value of other real
property in the locality and detract from the desirability and possibility
of anyone purchasing, improving and adding to the value of surrounding
vacant land. This article is intended and designed to eliminate such
hazards and such devaluing conditions.
All solid wastes originating within the City,
except garbage, rubbish, dead animals, sewage solids and hazardous
refuse shall be allowed to be disposed of in an approved private disposal
site within the limits of the City of Troy.
