[Adopted 10-8-1992 by L.L. No. 3-1992]
The Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village
of Roslyn Harbor hereby declares its intent to comply with the mandate
of § 120-aa of the General Municipal Law by adopting a local
law to require the source separation and segregation of recyclable
materials from all garbage or solid waste. Adoption of this article
by the Board of Trustees shall not be deemed or construed as a direct
or implied repeal of any portion of Local Law No. 1-1990,[1] which shall remain in full force and effect. Both this
article and Local Law No. 1-1990 shall be construed, to the extent
possible, as being consistent with one another. In the event of any
direct conflict, the terms of this article shall prevail.
A.
All solid waste which has been left for collection
or which is delivered by the generator of such waste to a solid waste
management facility shall be separated into recyclable or reusable
components for which economic markets for alternate uses exist. Such
separation shall be performed in accordance with the legislative or
regulatory determinations of the municipality or authority which,
either by law or by contract, possesses the right to regulate such
matters within the Village.
B.
For purposes of this article, the term "components"
shall include, without limitation, paper, glass, metals, plastics,
and garden and yard waste.
C.
For purposes of this article, the term "economic markets"
refers to instances in which the full avoided costs of proper collection,
transportation and disposal of source-separated materials are equal
to or greater than the cost of collection, transportation and sale
of said material less the amount received from the sale of said material.
