  proportionate  share  for  the public improvement authorized by this act
  and the general laws, including its just and proportionate share of  the
  cost  for  the removal of sewage and of maintenance and carrying charges
  of the system. The manner of arriving at the share each local government

§  120-i.  Means  of payment. The indebtedness created for such public

  district  of  a  town,  partly  by  assessment  on  the  property deemed
  specially benefited by such improvement and partly by a charge  on  such

  petition for the creation thereof or a supplemental petition  may  state
  the  means of payment as above provided and the assessment therein shall
  be made in form and substance  so  far  as  applicable  as  provided  in

  of the total cost of such system on the lands within such  district,  or
  extension of an existing district in proportion, as nearly as may be, to
  the  benefit  which each lot or parcel will derive therefrom. Such sewer
  commissioners shall  determine  the  amount  to  be  raised  by  general
  taxation  for  such expense. Nothing herein contained shall be construed
  as  preventing  the  contracting   municipalities   from   paying   such
  indebtedness,  in  whole  or  in  part,  by  the issuance of obligations
  pursuant to the terms of the local finance law.

  contracted for and made under this act,  with  money  to  be  raised  by
  taxation,  after the making of the public improvements herein authorized
  have been determined upon and a joint contract  made  and  entered  into
  pursuant  to  the provisions of this act, or by paying the whole or part
  of such indebtedness out of all moneys  belonging  to  such  contracting

  first have been duly approved and filed as above provided,  and  in  the

  modification of any  system  of  sewers  or  of  any  sewer  thereof  no
  deviations  from  the  plans as finally approved and filed shall be made
  until plans or descriptions adequately showing such deviations are first
  approved and filed as above provided. The state commissioner of  health,
  in  approving  said  map  and plan or by a certificate supplementing any
  such approval, may authorize  such  municipality  or  municipalities  to
  temporarily  omit  or  defer the construction of any portion of any such
  sewer or system of sewers. A copy or copies of his approval  or  of  any
  such   supplemental   certificate   shall  be  certified  to  each  such
  municipality and filed in the office of the clerk thereof.

  session between  the  village  and  the  town,  based  on  the  assessed
  valuation of the real property within said village and town according to
  the  last  preceding assessment roll. The portion thereof to be borne by

  to  be borne by the town shall be levied and collected by the town board
  of the town in the same manner  as  other  town  taxes  are  levied  and

§ 120-aa. Source separation and segregation of recyclable or reuseable
  materials.  1.  The  legislature  hereby  finds that it is in the public
  interest, in order to further the purposes of the state policy on  solid
  waste  management  articulated  in  section 27-0106 of the environmental
  conservation law, for a municipality to adopt a local law  or  ordinance
  to  require  the  source  separation  and  segregation  of recyclable or
  reuseable materials from solid waste.
2. a. Pursuant to  the  authority  of  this  section,  no  later  than
  September first, nineteen hundred ninety-two, a municipality shall adopt
  such a local law or ordinance to require that solid waste which has been
  left for collection or which is delivered by the generator of such waste
  to   a   solid  waste  management  facility,  shall  be  separated  into
  recyclable, reuseable or other components for which economic markets for
  alternate uses exist.  For purposes of this section, the term  "economic
  markets"  refers  to instances in which the full avoided costs of proper
  collection, transportation and disposal of  source  separated  materials
  are  equal to or greater than the cost of collection, transportation and
  sale of said material less the amount received from  the  sale  of  said
  material.
b.  For  purposes  of  this section, "components" shall include paper,
  glass, metals, plastics, garden and yard waste, and  may  include  other
  elements of solid waste.
c.  Prior  to exercising the authority of this section to enact such a
  local law or ordinance, the municipality shall  hold  a  public  hearing
  relating  to its proposed provisions and shall give due consideration to
  existing  source  separation,  recycling  and  other  resource  recovery
  activities  in  the  area,  to  the  adequacy  of  markets for separated
  materials, and to any additional effort and expense to  be  incurred  by
  residents in meeting the proposed separation requirements. The authority
  provided  in this section shall be in addition to and without limitation
  upon the authority vested in municipalities under any other statute.
d. In fulfillment of the provisions of this section a municipality may
  use public lands or buildings or private lands or buildings, open to the
  public, upon written consent of the owner,  as  a  recycling  center  or
  depot  for  the  storage of recyclable materials.  The office of general
  services and any other agency, authority or commission holding title  to
  lands  or  buildings  in the name of the people of the state shall fully
  cooperate with any person acting under the authority of this section  to
  establish   a   recycling   program,  provided  that  such  use  is  not
  inconsistent with the principle purpose  of  such  lands  or  buildings,
  subject to local zoning restrictions.

  statement  to  be  prepared  setting  forth  each  amount of solid waste
  disposal and/or collection fees in arrears as of thirty  days  prior  to
  the last date prescribed by law for the annexation of the warrant to the
  assessment  roll,  a  brief  description of the property for which or in
  connection with which such solid waste services were provided,  and  the
  name and address of the person or corporation liable to pay such amount.

  and such board shall levy such amounts  remaining  unpaid  on  the  date
  taxes  are  levied  against the real property for which or in connection
  with which such solid waste services were provided.
