[Adopted 8-14-2017 by L.L. No. 2-2017]
The reduction of the amount of solid waste and conservation of recyclable materials is an important public concern because of the increasing cost of solid waste collection and disposal and its impact on the environment. The continued reduction of the amount of solid waste in the Town through the separation and collection of recyclable materials is in the public interest, and all such recycling will continue to comply with the Onondaga County Source Separation Law and other applicable provisions of law.
In 1988, in the interest of public health, safety and welfare and in order to conserve energy and natural resources, the State of New York enacted a New York State Solid Waste Management Act, which established the following solid waste hierarchy: waste reduction, reuse, recycling and waste to energy (see New York Environmental Law § 27-0106) with land burial as a last resort only when reuse, recycling or waste to energy were unavailable. Section B-35 of the State Solid Waste Management Plan 1997-1998 Update recommended that Onondaga County take immediate steps to develop environmentally acceptable facilities to manage solid waste generated in the county. In December 1991, Onondaga County adopted a comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan that was subsequently approved by the State Department of Environmental Conservation. The County Plan, applicable to municipalities within the county, preferred waste to energy as a safe and sanitary alternative to the threat to the groundwater supply and other liabilities posed by the burying of such waste. Those reasons are further delineated in Section 5 of the aforementioned County Plan. Public Authorities Law § 2045-e(7) and (8) allows the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency to contract with municipalities for the delivery of such waste and, in furtherance thereof, to process such solid waste.
In compliance with both the State and County Solid Waste Management Plans, the Town of Marcellus has determined that all solid waste, both residential and commercial, generated in our Town and destined for disposal in the State of New York, may not be disposed of at any place other than the approved disposal site designated by the Town Board in § 181-10 of this article. The basis of that determination is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference.[1] This article also establishes regulations requiring the licensing of municipal haulers and governing hauler services for the collection and disposal of solid waste materials. This article shall not:
Regulate or otherwise restrict any disposal of solid waste generated within the Town that is to be disposed of out-of-state or any hauling of recyclable materials separated from the rest of the solid waste in accordance with Onondaga County's Source Separation Law; or
Regulate the price, route or service of any motor carrier with respect to the transportation of property prohibited by the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1994 as amended (49 U.S.C. § 14501 et seq.).
This article is adopted pursuant to pursuant to the New York State Constitution and § 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law.
Any facility operated by or designated by the Agency. Agency facilities include the Agency transfer stations at Ley Creek and Rock Cut Road, Rock Cut Road Waste-to Energy Facility, Agency Landfill, Agency Yard Waste Composting Facilities at Jamesville and Amboy, Construction and Demolition Processing Facility at Ley Creek and Agency-designated materials recovery facilities.
The Onondaga County Waste-to-Energy Facility on Rock Cut Road in the Town of Onondaga.
COUNTY-DESIGNATED RECYCLABLES
Those recyclables designated by the County of Onondaga pursuant to the Onondaga County Source Separation Law currently in effect (Onondaga County Local Law No. 2 of 2012), and as may be amended from time to time.
That street curb immediately in front of the property from which solid waste material and recyclables to be collected are generated or in the absence of an actual curb, that portion of the property that is immediately adjacent to the street.

Those recyclable materials, including county-designated recyclable materials, which can be practically separated from nonrecyclable waste for which reuse markets can be assessed for less that the cost of disposal.
The blue bin or other container supplied by the Agency, county, the Town or their designees for the use by eligible households within the Town. Such containers shall be exclusively for the storage of county-designated recyclable materials. Such containers shall at all times remain the property of the Agency.
The Onondaga County Source Separation Law currently in effect (Onondaga County Local Law No. 2 of 2012), and as may be amended from time to time.
All materials or substances discarded or rejected as being spent, useless, worthless or in excess to the owners at the time of such discard or rejection, including, but not limited to, garbage, refuse, residential, governmental, commercial, and/or light industrial refuse, but shall not include recyclables, yard and garden waste, human wastes, rendering wastes, demolition wastes, residue from incinerators or other destructive systems for processing waste (other than now existing individual building incinerators, the residue from which is presently collected as part of normal refuse collection practices), junked automobiles, pathological, medical, toxic, explosive, radioactive material or other waste material which, under existing or future federal, state or local laws, require special handling in its collection or disposal.

The Clerk of the Town of Marcellus.
Any person who produces solid waste requiring off-site disposal.
License required. It shall be a precondition of doing business as a hauler in the Town that the person/firm intending to conduct such business obtain a municipal hauler license. An application on a form approved and provided by the Town must be submitted to the Town Clerk, in which form the hauler shall be bound by the following provisions:
The hauler will deliver all nonrecyclable solid waste collected within the Town (residential and commercial) and destined for disposal in the State of the New York to the approved disposal site.
It shall be unlawful to unload or deposit any solid waste hauled from any premises within the Town and destined for disposal in the State of New York at any place other than the approved disposal site. Any hauler failing to so dispose of said solid waste at the approved disposal site shall be subject to municipal hauler license revocation.
The hauler will supply a plan of operation for collection and transportation and which provides for a recycling plan as required by the Recycling Law as it applies to haulers, which it shall adhere to and comply with. The hauler shall agree to provide for the collection of county-designated recyclables in every waste hauler disposal agreement, written or oral, as part of its standard service and to include the cost of such collection in its standard waste collection rates.
Duration of license. A municipal hauler license issued pursuant to this article shall be effective for an annual term beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 of the year in which the license is issued.
The Town Board may from time to time establish and impose, by resolution, an initial licensing fee upon all haulers who apply for a new municipal hauler license.
The Town Board may from time to time further establish and impose, by resolution, a separate license renewal fee, which fee shall be less than or equal to the initial licensing fee, and shall be paid by a previously licensed hauler on or before the date of expiration of its municipal hauler license.
If a previously licensed hauler allows its municipal hauler license to expire by failing to timely pay the license renewal fee established by the Town Board, the hauler shall submit to the Town Clerk a new municipal hauler license application and shall pay the initial licensing fee before said license is issued.
Any hauler holding a valid municipal hauler license issued by the Town on the date of the enactment of this article shall be required to pay only the license renewal fee by or before the date of the license's expiration. If any such hauler allows its license to expire by failing to timely pay the license renewal fee, said hauler shall be required to submit a new municipal hauler license application and pay the initial licensing fee pursuant to the requirements of this section.
Applicability. This section shall not apply to haulers whose only business within the Town is the rental of temporary dumpsters for individual construction, renovation, cleaning or other waste-generating projects.
The Town shall have the right to cancel any existing municipal hauler license upon 30 days' written notice to the hauler if the Town shall enact legislation establishing a new system for collection of solid waste in the Town that is inconsistent with the continuation of said license. The Town shall revoke a municipal hauler license upon the failure of the hauler to comply with any provision of § 181-11 of this article. Prior to any such revocation, the hauler shall be notified by the Town of its opportunity for a hearing on the matter, which hearing shall be held not less than five days after the hauler is notified in writing by the Town of the pending license revocation and the charges against it. All hearings shall be on a date and time and at a place determined by the Town. The hearing shall be informal and held before the Town Supervisor or his/her designee. Compliance with technical rules of evidence shall not be required, and the decision of the Town Supervisor or his/her designee shall be final.
The Town hereby adopts as its Source Separation Legislation the Onondaga County Source Separation Law currently in effect (Onondaga County Local Law No. 2 of 2012), and as may be amended from time to time, and incorporates by reference herein the language of said Source Separation Law.
Notwithstanding the fees established by § 181-11C of this article, the Town Board may, by resolution, designate and impose such other fees reasonably related to the collection and disposal of any solid waste within the Town and the administration of this article. After any such fees are imposed, the manner of implementation and collection shall be regulated by the Town Board or its designee in accordance with the terms of the resolution imposing such fees.
Haulers shall not collect solid waste in the Town on Sundays, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day.
In consideration of the Town issuing a municipal hauler license to a hauler, the hauler shall agree, upon the issuance of such license, that it shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Town and its officers and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, costs, payments, actions, recoveries, judgments and expenses of every kind, nature and description including, without limitation, all engineers' and attorneys' fees, fines, penalties and cleanup costs resulting from any such claim arising out of or connected in any way with the hauler or the hauler's collection; distribution or transportation of solid waste within or without the Town's corporate limits.
The hauler, as a condition of obtaining a municipal hauler license, shall provide and maintain the following insurance coverages at limits to be set from time to time by resolution of the Town Board:
Public liability (CGL) coverage, including contractual coverage, which CGL policy shall name the Town of Marcellus as an additional insured;
Automobile liability coverage for all owned, hired and nonowned vehicles; and
Each policy of insurance shall be endorsed to contain the following language:
"The Town will be given 30 days prior written notification of any cancellation, nonrenewal or modification of this policy which reduces coverage or limits at the following address: 24 East Main Street, Marcellus, NY 13108."
Prior to the issuance of any municipal hauler license, the hauler must provide to the Town Codes Office proof of insurance coverage on a form to be determined from time to time by resolution of the Town Board.
Haulers shall not operate earlier than 7:00 a.m., nor later than 7:00 p.m.
Where certain solid waste, recyclables and/or other waste materials were not collected because those materials were not placed or prepared by the waste generator in accordance with the provisions of this article, the person who placed such materials for collection and the owner of the property adjoining the curb where such waste materials were placed shall remove those wastes from the location as soon as possible after the hauler has refused collection and, in any event, by 6:00 p.m. on the designated collection day.
The collection, removal, and carrying of solid waste, recyclables and/or other waste material, and the transportation of solid waste, paper, and recyclables on any highway, street, alley, or lane of the Town must be done in covered vehicles. No hauler shall throw, scatter or cause to be scattered or deposited or to escape from the vehicle any solid waste or recyclables on public streets or any other public property.
Yard and garden waste may not be accepted for disposal at any agency facility but may be accepted for recycling at a yard waste composting facility of the hauler's choice within the County or taken elsewhere.
Except as specifically permitted in this article, no hauler shall deposit or cause to be deposited or stored for more than one day upon any property any solid waste and/or recyclables, and dumping thereof is hereby prohibited. No leachate or other obnoxious or contaminating substance shall be allowed to drain from any hauler vehicle on or into public streets, lands or waters.
No hauler shall suffer or permit solid waste, other waste material and/or recyclables, to accumulate or remain upon private premises including extended storage in hauler vehicles owned or operated by that hauler such that the same becomes obnoxious, unsightly, offensive in odor or appearance, or becomes dangerous to public health and safety.
No hauler shall bury or burn any solid waste, recyclables or any other waste materials or cause to be buried or burned any solid waste, recyclables, or any other waste materials within the limits of the Town without the express written authorization of the Town Board.
This article shall also apply to special events held in the Town. The sponsor of said events shall be responsible for sorting all solid waste materials into appropriate containers or bags and making all arrangements for pickup and disposal of all solid waste materials. The hauler may charge a fee to be determined by the Town Board for such pickups and disposal.
The failure of a hauler or any other person to comply with the provisions of this article, to the extent that it applies to any such hauler or other person, shall be considered a violation subject to the fines specified in the table below. Each day the violation continues shall constitute a new and separate offense subject to a separate penalty.
