The purpose of this Article is to maintain and
promote the orderly collection of refuse in the most efficient and
economical manner within the Town of Pound Ridge while, at the same
time, serving the public convenience and promoting all reasonable
efforts to further the recycling of glass, metal, plastics, newspapers
and other materials. It is the policy of the Town of Pound Ridge that
the accomplishment of these purposes may best be achieved by Town-wide
residential refuse and garbage collection performed by licensed private
carters and by municipal regulation of collectors of nonresidential
refuse and garbage with regard to collection procedures, fees and
sensitivity to the interest of the public. This Article, therefore,
embodies the Town's standards, requirements and procedures for the
regulation of refuse and garbage collection within the Town of Pound
Ridge, pursuant to New York State General Municipal Law § 120-aa.
