No. 5-1988 (Ch. 72 of the 1983 Code)]
This article shall be known as the "Mandatory Separation of Paper, Glass,
Plastic and Aluminum Law of the Town of Union Vale."
The Town Board acknowledges that the cost of solid waste disposal is
rapidly increasing, while at the same time solid waste disposal capacity within
existing regulations is limited in the Town and, in general, within the region.
By establishing a mandatory program of recycling by separating paper, glass,
plastic and aluminum from garbage and trash, the life of existing disposal
facilities will be extended by reducing the amount of solid waste to be disposed
of and, in turn, will reduce the overall cost of solid waste disposal.
A program for the mandatory separation of paper, glass, plastic and
aluminum from garbage and trash to be disposed of within the Town of Union
Vale is hereby established. All residents who utilize the Town transfer station
for the disposal of their garbage and trash shall separate therefrom all paper,
glass, plastic and aluminum before disposing of any garbage or trash in the
compactor located at the transfer station.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
All disposable items made from the metal aluminum, including but
not limited to all containers used for soda, beer, other beverages and food,
foil wrappers, containers for prepared food and lawn chairs (fabric removed).
Putrescible animal, fish, foul, fruit or vegetable waste incident
to and resulting from the use, preparation, cooking and consumption of food.
All products made from silica or sand, soda ash and limestone, the
product being transparent or translucent and being used for the packaging
or bottling of various matter and all other material commonly known as "glass,"
excluding, however, ceramics, light bulbs, blue and flat glass and glass commonly
known as "window glass."
A substance made in the form of thin sheets from bark, wood or other
fibrous material, including but not limited to newspapers and magazines.
All containers made from high-density polyethylene, including but
not limited to bottles having contained the following types of liquid: milk,
juice, water, soap, bleach, detergent, oil, antifreeze, carbonated beverages
and auto window-washing fluid.
Paper, corrugated cardboard, glass, plastic, aluminum, metal, waste
oil, fluorescent bulbs, and rechargeable batteries.
[Amended 6-12-2003 by L.L.
No. 4-2003]
All nonputrescible solid waste.
The Town of Union Vale Code Enforcement Officer.
All residents who use the Town transfer station shall, prior to using
the facility, separate from their garbage and trash all paper, glass, plastic
and aluminum. All categories of recyclable material, as defined in this article,
shall be disposed of in separate containers that shall be made available at
the transfer station. Once deposited in the containers provided, all recyclable
materials become the property of the Town of Union Vale.
Nothing in this article shall prohibit or prevent any private property owner, tenant or property user from securing a private contract for the removal of garbage and trash, including those items defined as recyclable material in § 188-14.
No person shall take or remove any recyclable material from the Town
of Union Vale transfer station unless authorized to do so by the Town Board
of the Town of Union Vale.
The governing body of the Town of Union Vale may from time to time,
by resolution, promulgate rules and regulations consistent with the provisions
of this article in order to effectuate the purposes hereof.
Any person, firm, business, corporation or other entity who violates
or fails to comply with any provision of this article or any rule or regulation
promulgated pursuant thereto shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by
a fine not to exceed the following amounts for the following offenses:
The transfer station attendant and the Town of Union Vale Zoning Enforcement
Officer are hereby authorized to enforce this article and any rules and regulations
