(A) The Town Council mandates the curbside collection of recyclable materials from residential properties, beginning April 1, 1996.
(B) Each residential user residing in a single-, two- or three-family unit shall be charged $1 per unit per month for curbside recycling. The recycling charge shall be added as a separate item to each residential property owner’s monthly water bill and shall be billed and collected by the town. Regardless of how payment may be designated, partial payments of a combined water, recycling and sewer bill shall be applied first to the water bill, second to the recycling bill and last to the sewer bill. The recycling charge shall apply irrespective of whether the residential user complies with mandatory curbside recycling; the single exception being if the residential user has water to the residence shut off at the water meter. During such period of water shut-off, the residential user shall not be billed or charged for water usage or curbside recycling. Residential properties not on municipal water and sewer shall be billed annually for recycling services.
(C) The contractor awarded the contract to collect recyclable materials shall have the exclusive right to collect, recycle, monitor and dispose of such recyclable materials, and all other contractors and persons shall be prohibited from collecting, recycling or disposing of any recyclable materials from residential properties throughout the town.
