(a) The town’s contractor has exclusive rights to engage in the
business of collection and disposing of residential, commercial and
industrial garbage, trash, rubbish, debris, other refuse and residential
recyclable materials, brush, and bulky waste within the corporate
limits of the town. The exclusivity granted to the contractor includes
commercial and industrial customers, except where the contractor stipulates
they will not pursue such customers, as approved by the town. This
exclusivity does not include commercial or industrial recyclable materials,
commercial or industrial accounts for which the contractor receives
a release from the town, or construction debris. Construction debris
or other trash resulting from construction, major remodeling, general
cleanup of property, or resulting from sizable amounts of trash and
debris being cleared in preparation for construction will be removed
by the property owner at their expense using their own crew or removal
may be individually negotiated between the property owner and the
contractor. Should the contractor for town waste collection and disposal
services not be used for these services, a permit hauling fee would
need to be paid to the town in the amount of $100.00 at the time of
building permit.
(b) All owners, lessees, or persons in possession of residential, commercial
or industrial property within the corporate limits of the town shall
be required to use the garbage control disposal service offered directly
by the town or through an authorized independent franchisee, including
a curbside recycling service provided by the town through its recycling
franchisee, utilizing only approved containers provided by the town’s
franchisee. Should a resident want to discontinue their waste collection
and disposal services due to traveling for six months or more consecutively,
the resident may request this option only after their water and wastewater
(if applicable) services have been discontinued as well. This would
require the contractor to recover the provided polycart containers
prior to discontinuing services. Once the resident returns to the
town after traveling all services collectively, including waste collections
and disposal services, water service, and wastewater service (if applicable),
may be reactivated. Upon payment of any utility connection fees, the
necessary polycarts would be provided by the contractor.
