(A) The village has determined that it is in the best interest of its residents and in the furtherance of state law and the public health, welfare and safety to institute a program for the collection and disposal of landscape waste within the village. The landscape waste program includes the weekly collection of landscape waste units at the curbside which is separate from the normal collection of refuse but which must be collected on the same day as the normal collection of refuse, using trucks and equipment specifically designated for the collection of landscape waste. Landscape waste for all single-family detached residential units shall be collected only by the village-designated refuse disposal contractor for such homes. Landscape waste for all other uses in the village shall be collected by the scavenger business providing refuse collection for such users provided, however, if a landscape service is used, the landscape service company may collect and dispose of the landscape waste as an incidental service to its landscape business provided it is done in the manner required by this section. No person shall collect landscape waste within the village unless licensed by the village to engage in a scavenger business or unless conducting a landscape business and then only as an incidental service to the primary service of caring for lawns, trees, shrubs, and the like.
(B) It shall be unlawful for any person:
(1) To mix landscape waste that is intended for collection of disposal at a landfill with any refuse; and
(2) To place for collection and pickup any landscape waste unless it is packaged in:
(a) The village-approved green 95 gallon wheeled yard waste cart, approved biodegradable bags designed for such purposes, or any village-approved alternative for all single-family detached residences in the village; or
(b) Any approved alternative for non-residential uses and for residential units other than single-family detached.
(C) For other than single-family detached residential units, a reasonable fee may be imposed by the scavenger for the collection of each landscape waste unit within the village. For single-family detached residential units, the amount charged for refuse collection shall include the collection and pickup of recyclable materials and landscape waste, as well as refuse.
(D) Any scavenger who violates any provision of this section shall be subject to appropriate license suspension or revocation proceedings under this code of ordinances.
