Only authorized collectors acting under the authority of or licensed
by the Town of Boston shall collect, pick up or remove or cause to be collected,
picked up or removed any municipal solid waste, recyclable materials so placed
for collection; each such unauthorized collection, pickup or removal shall
constitute a separate violation of this chapter; provided, however, that where
the authorized collector has refused to collect certain recyclable materials
because they have not been separated, placed or treated in accordance with
the provisions of this chapter, the person responsible for initially placing
those materials for collection may and shall remove these materials from any
curb, sidewalk or street side. Nothing herein shall prevent any person from
making arrangements for the private collection, sale or donation of recyclable
materials prior to placement at curbside.
