(a) Established. There shall be established a recycling program for the town, effective August 1, 1993. This recycling program will provide for the manner in which collections shall be made, specifications for those items to be recycled, and a schedule of days and hours for collection.
(b) Rules and regulations. Council may make rules and regulations providing for recycling that will not be in conflict with any state or county law.
(c) Fees. There will be a fee of $2.00 per month per customer, as defined by the utility monthly billing. This fee will be collected and deposited and books will be maintained by the Town of Nutter Fort.
(d) Recyclables.
(1) Items to be recycled shall include, but not be limited to aluminum and bi-metal cans, steel beverage and food cans, plastics Nos. 1 and 2, corrugated paper, cardboard, newspapers including inserts, and magazines.
(2) The following recyclable items may be placed in the recycling bin or clear plastic garbage bags: aluminum cans and bi-metal cans, steel beverage and food cans, plastics Nos. 1 and 2, newspapers including inserts, and magazines.
(3) All customers of the town must participate in the recycling program under the same terms as laid down by the collection of regular consumer garbage, except for the following rule: All recyclables must be placed at the front curb for pick-up. This will allow for a more cost-efficient collection. Failure to participate in the recyclable program will be a violation of the law mandating recycling and will result in loss of garbage collection by those who fail to participate.
(4) Recycling will be collected as specified by this department and may be changed if necessary.
