All residents of the Town of Wayland and all
businesses having a principal place of business in the Town of Wayland
and all businesses providing solid waste disposal services to residents
and businesses of the Town of Wayland are prohibited from disposing
of any recyclable materials in the containers or areas reserved for
refuse only at the Town of Wayland Sandhill Sanitary Landfill or any
other town landfill or solid waste transfer facility.
A. 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
categorization of materials as recyclable or nonrecyclable, to the
extent that these determinations do not conflict with applicable state
laws and regulations governing the handling of solid waste.
B. The Board of Public Works shall provide alternative
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.
