The Division of Public Works shall each week collect the refuse and trash of:

Residential units.

Each detached single-family residence and each multiple dwelling that:

Contains fewer than nine living units; and

Is not part of any apartment or condominium complex containing nine living units or more.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Town will provide customary residential trash pick-up for the residential units of Village Green at North Andover Condominium Trust, which are located on duly accepted public ways. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Town will provide customary residential trash pickup for the owner-occupied Townhouse Homes of Andrew Circle.

B. 
Each building used for commercial, business or industrial purposes where the amount of refuse produced is no more than eight thirty-gallon barrels per week and the building is not a commercial, business or industrial complex.
Service will be provided only if the refuse and trash are placed on the side of the highway in front of said residence or multiple dwelling or building.
Any building or aggregation of buildings (such as a shopping mall, industrial park, office complex or other like development) containing four or more businesses, industries or commercial enterprises shall be deemed to constitute a commercial, business or industrial complex for purposes of this article if legal title to the building or aggregation of buildings is in single, joint or common ownership.
It shall be the duty of each owner of a multiple-dwelling building or apartment or condominium complex containing nine living units or more and each owner of a building utilized for commercial, business or industrial purposes which does not qualify for trash pickup under the criteria set forth in § 160-1B to cause to be removed at his own cost and expense all refuse and trash produced therein.
To maintain compliance with the state solid waste facility regulation 310 CMR 19.017, the Town of North Andover enacts a mandatory bylaw which states that the following will not be allowed in the garbage, rubbish and refuse/trash, and the Town of North Andover directs its contracted waste hauler or any party responsible for municipal waste pickup not to pick up visible recycling at curbside, and these items will include the items in the following subsections:
A. 
Single-resin narrow-necked plastic. All narrow-necked plastic containers of any resin type. In narrow-necked containers, the diameter of the opening is smaller than the diameter of the base (e.g., a soda bottle is "narrow-necked," but a yogurt container is not).
B. 
Recyclable paper. All paper, cardboard, and paperboard products (e.g., office paper, newspaper, unwaxed cardboard and cereal boxes), excluding tissue paper, toweling, paper plates, cups, and other low-grade paper products which become unusable to paper mills as a result of normal intended use (e.g., used paper towels).
C. 
Cathode ray tubes (CRTs). Any intact, broken, or processed glass tube used to provide the visual display in televisions, computer monitors and certain scientific instruments such as oscilloscopes. (310 CMR 19.006)

Any or all of the items in § 160-5 commingled with garbage, rubbish, or refuse will be reason for the Division of Public Works or its agents to refuse to pick up such commingled items from that dwelling.
