Categories of recyclable materials may include paper,
cardboard, glass, metals, plastics, batteries, tires, fabrics, wood
and yard wastes and any other materials as may be designated by the
Board of Public Works as recyclable materials consistent with state
laws and regulations. The Wayland Board of Public Works shall at all
times retain the sole authority for establishing or modifying the

areas or containers at operational landfill or waste transfer sites
for the collection of materials designated as recyclable. The prohibition
on the disposal of recyclable materials in designated refuse areas
shall not prevent the Board of Public Works from entirely excluding
certain materials from the landfill or any future landfill or waste
transfer facility.
