Waste materials generated by commercial, industrial or other sources not subject to collection by the town’s collection crews shall not be included within the definition of RECYCLABLE MATERIALS for the purposes of this subchapter even though they are of a category of materials which would be subject to collection for recycling purposes if generated by domestic use.

Such RECYCLING PROGRAM shall be considered as commencing on a date certain as specified by the Town Council, and may be of determinate or indeterminate duration. The provisions of this subchapter shall be effective only during the term of a RECYCLING PROGRAM as defined herein.
SPECIAL COLLECTION. A separate collection which is intended to collect recyclable materials generated by domestic use as part of a recycling program. Such SPECIAL COLLECTIONS may be made by the town’s collection crews or by private collection crews under contract with the Town Council to provide such services during the term of any such contract and upon the terms and conditions contained in any such contract.
