(a) Objective. Development or use of land in the Village of Mount Gilead shall not create excessive refuse, byproducts, or other waste; recycling of materials used in construction and/or materials used by the use permitted on the property is encouraged.
(b) Standard. All refuse containers shall have tight-fitting lids and shall be enclosed or screened so as to not be visible at property lines. Operator of uses shall provide for the disposal of all solid and liquid wastes on a timely basis and in an environmentally safe manner. Upon request by the Village Zoning Inspector, the Village Council may consider the impact of a particular waste or byproducts upon the Village’s disposal methods and/or disposal areas (as to volume, flammability, or toxicity) and may require the user to dispose of such wastes at non-Village sites, in conformance with all applicable State or Federal regulations. The Village Zoning Inspector may also require the user to specify the amount and exact nature of all wastes to be generated by the proposed operation.
