The Board of Trustees of the Village of Ardsley believes that the recycling
of newspapers, glass and metal containers and corrugated paperboard will prevent
wasteful incineration, lower the village's charges for refuse disposal,
provide an additional revenue stream to the village and will help to conserve
natural resources. Mandatory recycling of newspapers, glass and metal containers
and corrugated paperboard will remove a significant tonnage of material from
the solid waste stream and divert it to a recyclable use. It is the purpose
of this chapter to institute a program of mandatory recycling for specific
recyclable materials in an attempt to derive maximum environmental and economic
benefit with minimum inconvenience to residents and property owners.
If any provision of this chapter or the application thereof to any person
or circumstances is adjudged invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction,
such judgment shall not affect or impair the validity of the other provisions
of this chapter or the application thereof to other persons and circumstances.
This chapter and any amendments thereto shall become effective 60 days
after filing in the office of the Secretary of State.
