[Adopted 8-10-1992 as L.L.
No. 8-1992 (Ch. 105 of the 1980 Code)]
Pursuant to General Municipal Law § 120-aa, the New York State
Legislature has directed that each municipality in the State of New York adopt
local legislation requiring that solid waste which has been left for collection
or which is delivered by the generator of such solid waste to a solid waste
management facility shall be separated into recyclable, reusable or other
components for which economic markets for alternate uses exist. It is the
intention of the Village of Thomaston to conform to that requirement by the
enactment of this Article.
A.
The Board of Trustees, from time to time, by resolution,
may establish regulations specifying those recyclable or reusable materials,
including but not limited to glass, metal and plastic containers and newspapers
or other components, which materials shall not be commingled for pickup with
any other solid waste materials and which shall be separated from other solid
waste materials in accordance with such regulations, and designating the place(s)
and time(s) when such recyclable or reusable materials may be placed for pickup,
collection and recycling.
B.
No person shall cause or permit any recyclable or reusable materials designated in or pursuant to Subsection A hereof to be commingled with any other solid waste materials for pickup, collection and recycling.
C.
No person shall cause or permit any such recyclable or
reusable material to be placed for pickup, collection and recycling except
in containers approved by the Board of Trustees for that purpose.
D.
No person shall cause or permit any such recyclable or
reusable material to be placed for pickup, collection and recycling and reuse
except at such times and places as may be designated by the Board of Trustees.
