[L.L. No. 1-1976, § 3]
For the purposes of this article, the following terms shall
have the meanings ascribed to them herein:
(1) SOLID WASTE — Includes all manner of useless or unwanted or
discarded solid or semisolid, nontoxic, domestic, commercial, industrial,
institutional, construction and demolition waste materials, except
hazardous, toxic, chemical, human or rendering wastes.
(2) COLLECTOR OF SOLID WASTE — Includes any person duly licensed
or authorized to engage in or who engages in the business of collecting,
storing, transporting and disposing of solid waste as defined above.
(3) SOLID WASTE FACILITY — Includes any fixed facility that is
established, maintained and operated, either as its primary function
or in support of some other facility or operation, for the transfer,
treatment, disposal or salvage of solid waste. It includes, but is
not limited to, any facility that is established for the purpose of
transferring, bailing, composting, incinerating, recycling, separating,
salvaging, shredding or landfilling any solid waste or any combination
of functions thereof, including stationary compactors located at points
of collection.
(4) PLAN — A Plan for Solid Waste Management in Westchester County,
New York, dated May 7, 1974."
[L.L. No. 1-1976, § 4]
The Village shall deliver or cause to be delivered to a solid
waste facility or facilities, designated by Westchester County and
licensed, operated or approved by Westchester County, all solid waste
collected or caused to be collected within the boundaries of the Village,
subject to such restrictions as may be required by the county in conformity
with the plan as set forth in Resolution No. 162-1974 of the County
Board of Legislators, except that bona fide recycling or resource
recovery programs or drives within this municipality and operated
or licensed by it may be exempted from this section with the approval
of Westchester County.
[L.L. No. 1-1976, § 5]
In consideration of the assumption by Westchester County of
responsibility for the disposal of all solid waste collected in the
Village in compliance with federal and state standards for the control
of ground, air and water pollution, the Village agrees to refrain
from exercising its powers to impose licensing requirements for collectors
of solid waste at such time as Westchester County shall adopt requirements
for the licensing and regulation of said collectors on a county-wide
basis.
[L.L. No. 1-1976, § 6]
Upon representation by the county that the plan offers the most
efficient and least costly method of solid waste control in compliance
with federal and state standards for the control of air, ground and
water pollution, the Village agrees to pay all reasonable fees set
by Westchester County for the disposal of solid waste, presently estimated
to be about $15 per ton at the designated point of transfer to the
county facility.
[L.L. No. 1-1976, § 8]
This Article does not bind the Village to any contractual relationship
with Westchester County. In the event that the county plan is substantially
altered from the plan presently filed that the cost will not be the
same or similar to the projected cost therein, or if the Village ascertains
that a more efficient and less costly method is available to dispose
of its solid waste, then the Village, at its option, may rescind this
Article.
