The Village finds that the removal of certain materials from
the solid waste stream will decrease the amount of solid waste disposed
in landfills and aid in the conservation of valuable resources.
The Village finds that the New York Solid Waste Management Act
of 1988 requires all municipalities to adopt a local law or ordinance
requiring separation of recyclable and reusable materials from solid
waste.
The Village finds that in order to protect the health, safety
and welfare of the people of the Village, it is necessary for the
Village to enact this chapter in order to encourage and facilitate
the maximum recycling practicable on the part of every household,
business and institution within the Village.
The Village declares that the purpose of this chapter is to
establish and implement recycling related practices and procedures
to be applicable to all waste generators within the Village.
