This chapter shall be known as the "Solid Waste Management Ordinance of the Village of Clyman," hereinafter referred to as "this chapter."
A. 
The purpose of this chapter shall be to maintain and protect public health and sanitation by removal of garbage, rubbish, and other waste material generated in the in the Village of Clyman, to eliminate dispersal of garbage, waste, and other waste material along the streets, roads, and other public and private properties in and near the Village of Clyman, and to provide a comprehensive Village recycling program. The Village of Clyman finds participation in a mandatory source separation recycling program appropriate in this jurisdiction to conserve available, local landfill capacity. The Village further finds it appropriate to participate in state-wide recycling programs to conserve energy, recycle valuable resources and to protect public health, welfare and the environment. The Village also finds participation in these programs appropriate to achieve consistency with recycling policies that ensure that the waste generated in the Village will be able to be delivered to the appropriate landfills and recycling facilities.
B. 
The Village Board further finds and ordains that:
(1) 
Improper disposal of household sharp medical waste, such as hypodermic needles, poses a significant health risk to workers in the waste disposal industry;
(2) 
Safe disposal of household sharp medical waste is possible through inexpensive, easily obtained means, without posing an undue burden on users of household sharp medical waste; and
(3) 
Removal of household sharp medical waste from the Village's waste stream is beneficial to residents of the Village as well as the Village's waste hauler and users of DNR approved landfills.

Any and each collection by unauthorized persons in violation of this provision shall constitute a separate and distinct offense punishable as provided hereinafter. Nothing herein shall be construed to allow for scavenging, removal, transportation, or resorting of refuse which has been placed for disposal under this chapter. Any such scavenging or separation of refuse that has been placed for disposal by the producer of said refuse shall be deemed a violation of this chapter.
B. 
This chapter shall not prohibit the actual producers of recyclable materials or the owners of residential units or nonresidential units upon which recyclable materials have been accumulated from personally collecting, conveying, and disposing of recyclable materials, provided such producers or owners do not violate the intent of this chapter.
The accumulation or deposit of garbage, trash, or putrescible animal or vegetable matter in or upon any lot or land or any public or private place within the Village which causes the air or environment to become noxious or offensive or to be in such a condition as to promote the breeding of flies, mosquitoes, or other insects, or to provide a habitat or breeding place for rodents or animals, or which otherwise becomes injurious to the public health, is prohibited and declared to constitute a nuisance. Refuse areas shall be kept in a nuisance- and odor-free condition. Refuse shall not be allowed to accumulate. Violation will result in the occupant and/or owner being notified to clean up his area, with continued violations resulting in the owner being prosecuted under provisions of this and other Village ordinances.
No persons shall deposit, throw, or place any garbage, offal, dead animals, combustible refuse or other deleterious matters in any park, lane, alley, street, public grounds, or public place within the Village, nor place any garbage, offal, dead animals or other refuse matter upon any private property not owned by such person without such person's consent. If not deemed noncollectible, these materials may be placed for collection on the owner's property if the same is enclosed in proper vessels or containers which shall be watertight and kept so with tightly fitting covers.
No person other than an authorized collector shall collect or interfere with any waste after it shall have been put into a garbage receptacle and deposited in the proper place for the collector, nor shall any unauthorized person molest, hinder, delay or in any manner interfere with any authorized garbage collector in the discharge of his duties.

A. 
Deposit or cause to be deposited any recyclable material at any authorized collection point when the site is closed or not operating.

Deposit or cause to be deposited any recyclable materials in any container not specifically intended for the collection of that type or group of recyclable material.
D. 
Deposit for cause to be deposited any nonrecyclable material in any container specifically intended for the collection or deposit of recyclable material.
E. 
Mix or permit intermixing of recyclable and nonrecyclable materials intended for collection by a collector/hauler or intended to be processed at a material recycling facility.
A. 
The Village may find that the purposes of this chapter will be better served by limiting collection of waste activities to a minimum and to that end the Village will contract with an independent contractor to provide waste collection services in accordance with this chapter. If any person needs a service in excess of that provided by such collector/hauler pursuant to the collection contract with the Village, such person is free to contract, at such person's cost, for such additional services as may be required or desired.
B. 
The Village Board shall be authorized, if it so determines, to place the pro-rata cost of such collector/hauler's fee for such services on the tax bill for the real property from which such waste is generated. Said amount so placed on the tax bill for each year in advance of such services and when so placed shall have the same force and effect as real estate taxes and shall be paid as in the same manner as real estate taxes.
C. 
The Village and the collector/hauler shall establish pickup times for the collection of collectible wastes.
A. 
Each condominium association in the Village shall be responsible for establishing compliance with this chapter by the owner of each condominium unit, and shall submit its plan for compliance to the Village for approval and shall submit for approval of the Village any changes in such plan. Such plan may provide for the purposes of this chapter. Each condominium unit shall be treated the same as a single residential dwelling or the entire condominium shall be treated for such purposes as a multifamily dwelling (§ 362-3). In approving such a plan, the Village shall consider which plan under the circumstances would better promote the purpose of this chapter.
B. 
Each owner of a multifamily building, with the consent of the Village, shall have the option of treating each unit within said building as a single-family residence or comply with the requirements of § 362-8C, except that duplexes shall be treated as two single-family residences.
The owners of commercial, retail, industrial and governmental facilities shall provide for the disposal of recyclable materials as defined herein and shall regularly notify all users of said premises of such facilities, including employees, agents and customers of county and municipal recycling requirements.
Nothing in this chapter is intended to apply to the disposal of or the accumulation of agricultural or farm wastes, products or feed accumulated upon property used in the ordinary course of farming.
It is expected that from time to time federal and state statutes and regulations will require that items other than the items which have been deemed to be recyclable herein shall be recycled. In such event, this chapter shall be deemed to include and shall require such other items to be recyclable hereunder.
A. 
Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to a penalty which shall be as follows:
(1) 
First offense. Any person found in violation of any provision of this section as a first offender shall receive a warning notice requiring compliance and may be subject to having refuse in violation of the provisions herein not collected.
(2) 
Second and subsequent offenses. Any person found guilty of violating any part of this chapter who has previously been notified of being in violation or has been convicted of violating the same chapter within one year shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a forfeiture as provided in § 1-3.
B. 
Each violation and each day a violation continues or occurs shall constitute a separate offense. Nothing in this chapter shall preclude the Village from maintaining any appropriate action to prevent or remove a violation of any provision of this chapter.
If any entity, including those receiving collection from a private firm, is found in violation of the collection and storage requirements of this chapter and fails to comply with a notification and/or requirements of this chapter and fails to comply with a notification and/or citation, the Village Board or its designee shall be empowered to order a special collection to remove such violation. The person shall be notified of such special collection and the charges therefor. The special collection shall be made and, if billing plus $50 is unpaid, the bill shall be considered a lien on the property and shall be placed on the tax bill. A person shall not use the special collection provision of this chapter to circumvent requirements for collection by a private firm.
