[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Manlius 2-28-2001 by L.L. No. 2-2001. (This local law also repealed former Ch. 119, Solid Waste, which consisted of Art. I, Dumps and Dumping, adopted 3-13-1991 as Ch. 48 of the 1991 Code; and Art. II, Collection and Disposal, adopted 3-25-1992 by Ord. No. 2-1992 as Ch. 82 of the 1991 Code.) Amendments noted where applicable.]
119a Exhibit A 119b Municipal Hauler License Application
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 separation and collection of recyclable materials serves the general public's interest in our Town by reducing the amount of solid waste and will otherwise comply with the Onondaga County Source Separation Law (Local Law No. 12 of 1989) 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 Conservation 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 the 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 110.5 of the aforementioned county plan. Public Authorities Law § 2045-e, Subdivisions (7) and (8), allow 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 Manlius 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 § 119-2 hereof. The basis of that determination is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference.[1] This chapter will also establish and refine regulations requiring the licensing of municipal haulers and governing hauler services for the collection and disposal of solid waste materials. This chapter 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 handling 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 or 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.A. § 14501 et seq.).
Empty, washed glass jars, bottles and containers of clear, green and amber (brown) that contained food and drink, caps removed. This term excludes ceramics, window glass, auto glass, mirrors and kitchenware.
All ferrous and nonferrous metals, including steel, aluminum and composite cans and containers (cleaned of food wastes) and empty aerosol cans that did not contain hazardous material. Scrap metal, wire, pipes, tubing, motors, sheet metal, etc., are recyclable but must be recycled through scrap dealers.
All HDPE and PET type plastic bottles (#1 and #2), including empty, washed food, beverage, detergent, bleach and hair care containers with lids removed. This term excludes all photographic film, vinyl, rigid and foam plastic materials, as well as plastics numbered 3 through 7 and HDPE oil bottles, as well as #1 and #2 containers that are not bottles or contained hazardous material.
Paper packaging as found in cereal, cracker and tissue boxes, etc., and toilet tissue and paper towel tubes.
Includes discarded and bulk mail, computer paper, colored paper, greeting cards, wrapping paper and carbonless multi-part forms. Excludes any paper coated with foil or plastic.
Any person, company or firm who engages in the collection, transportation, disposal or delivery of solid waste within our Town.
Any waste (excluding household hazardous waste) which is defined or regulated as a hazardous waste, toxic substance, hazardous chemical substance or mixture, or asbestos (regulated waste) under federal, state or local law, or under rules, regulations, policies or guidelines issued in relation thereof, as they may be amended from time to time, including but not limited to:
The State Environmental Conservation Law (Title 9 of Article 27) and the regulations contained in 6 NYCRR Parts 370, 371, 372, 373 (Subpart 373-3);
Any other material that by federal, state or local law, or under rules, regulations, policies, guidelines or orders having the force of law in relation thereto are regulated as harmful, toxic or hazardous to health and ineligible for processing at the Agency facility.
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 used 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 Local Law No. 12, adopted March 6, 1989, as subsequently amended.
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, requires special handling in its collection or disposal.
The Town of Manlius.
The Town Board of the Town of Manlius.
The Clerk of the Town of Manlius.
Any person, which produces solid waste requiring off-site disposal.
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 and a Town sticker. An application on a form approved and provided by the Town must be submitted to the Town Codes Enforcement Office in which the person satisfactorily shall be bound by the following provisions:
The hauler will deliver all of the nonrecyclable solid waste (residential and commercial) it collects within the Town and destined for disposal in the State of New York to the approved disposal site specified in § 119-2 above. It shall be unlawful to unload or deposit any solid waste hauled from any premises within the limits of the Town and destined for disposal in the State of New York at any place other than the approved disposal site specified by the Town in § 119-2 above. Any hauler failing to dispose of said solid waste at the approved disposal site so designated shall be subject to having its license revoked.
The hauler shall attach a municipal sticker which must be visibly and securely affixed to the driver's side vent window or upper part of the driver's side of the windshield of each of the hauler vehicles in operation.
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 happening of any or a combination of the following:
Failure of the hauler to comply with any provision of § 119-3 or § 119-4 of this chapter. Prior to any such revocation, the hauler shall be notified by the Town of an opportunity for a hearing in 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, required pursuant to General Municipal Law § 120-aa, the Onondaga County Source Separation Law (i.e., Local Law No. 12 of 1989) as adopted by the Onondaga County Legislature and subsequently amended under its terms.
No hauler shall dispose of recyclable materials as solid waste. Nor shall any hauler accept recyclable materials for disposal as solid waste.
Recycling containers shall at all times remain the property of the Agency or Town, as the case may be, and are provided for the use and convenience of eligible households in complying with this chapter. No hauler shall:
Remove a recycling container from the Town;
Dispose of a recycling container other than by returning such container to the Town at a designated location; or
Use a recycling container for other than the temporary storage of county-designated recyclable material.
The Town Board may, by resolution, designate and impose such fees as it deems reasonable and appropriate in relation to the collection and disposal of any waste material including, without limitation, recyclable materials. After any such fees are imposed, the manner of implementation and collection shall be by regulation of the Town Board or its designee not inconsistent with the terms of the resolution imposing such fees. The Town Board may by resolution also, from time to time, establish fees to defray expenses in connection with the fee for the municipal hauler license and administration of this chapter. Fees shall be paid by the applicant at the time of application.
Haulers shall not collect solid waste in the Town on Sundays, Thanksgiving or Christmas, or New Year's Day.
In consideration of the Town issuing a municipal hauler license to an applicant, the applicant shall agree, upon the issuance of such license to the applicant, that the applicant 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 clean-up costs resulting from any such claim, etc., arising out of or connected in any way with the applicant's acting as a hauler or the applicant's involvement or participation in the collection, distribution or transportation of solid waste.

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 chapter, 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 9:00 p.m. on the designated collection day.
The collection, removal, and carrying of solid waste, recyclables and/or 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 or scatter or cause to be scattered or deposited or to escape from the vehicle any solid waste or recyclables on the streets or public places.
Except as specifically permitted in this chapter, 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 the public streets or any other public or private property within the Town or at any agency facility. This prohibition shall not prohibit the proper disposal or transfer of solid waste, recyclable material or other waste material at an appropriate agency facility.

This chapter shall also apply to all 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.
In addition to any revocation of the municipal hauler's license pursuant to § 119-6 of this chapter, each day's violation or failure to comply with the provisions of this chapter shall be considered a new and separate offense, and subject to the penalties set forth in § 119-20.
