8-2-4: YARD WASTE AND COMPOSTING:
"Yard waste" is defined, but not limited to, grass clippings, leaves, mulch, branches, twigs, shrubs or trees. Village residents are strongly encouraged to maintain their yards in an ecologically sound manner. They are encouraged to compost all compost materials on their homesites. They are equally encouraged, if they engage landscape contractors, to require that all yard waste, such as grass clippings be composted on or off site. Residents may also arrange for seasonal pick up of yard waste through the Village's contract hauler on a cost per sticker basis. Yard waste should be bundled or deposited in appropriate containers or bags. It is unlawful to commingle yard waste and compost materials with other solid waste materials. (Ord. 96-O-736, 12-2-1996)
