In accordance with the rules, every person shall
be required to separate solid waste that has been left for collection
or which is delivered by the generator of such solid waste to a solid
waste management facility into recyclable, reusable or other components
for which economic markets for alternate uses exist. Economic markets
shall have the meaning as may be provided in the General Municipal
Law.
Title to any solid waste deposited at a county
solid waste management facility shall vest in the county which may
sell and dispose of same on such terms as may be appropriate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in any other local law, resolution or regulation, solid waste, ashes,
incinerator residue, special bulky waste, hazardous waste, wood and
rubble waste, construction and demolition debris, waste tires and/or
regulated waste generated outside of Sullivan County may not be transported
into Sullivan County and/or deposited at a Solid Waste Management
facility unless authorized by the rules or by an order of the Commissioner
of Public Works. This shall not, however, be construed to prevent
the transportation into Sullivan County and deposit into a solid waste
management facility of recyclables by the county or a private entity
that has received a permit from the county allowing it to so transport
and/or deposit such recyclables.
