Full Breakdown
" The same frequency structure is repeated for rubbish in § 201-3(A)(1) and for bulky items in § 201-4(A)(1), so garbage, rubbish and bulky-item pickup all run on the Town Board's resolution schedule rather than a fixed statutory day. The Sanitation Department, under the Commissioner of Sanitation, administers the actual routes and hours within that framework. Because the schedule lives in Town Board resolutions rather than the code itself, residents confirm their specific collection day through the Sanitation Department rather than the ordinance text, which only sets the legal mechanism (Town Board resolution) and the outer limits (no Sunday or holiday service, hours set by the Commissioner). on collection day itself, which frames how residents interact with whatever weekly schedule the Town Board has set.
Violations & Fines
Setting out solid waste before 5:00 p.m. the day prior, or failing to remove containers by 8:00 p.m. on collection day, is enforced by Sanitation Department inspectors under § 201-15. Violations of Article II are punishable under § 201-16 by a fine up to $500 or imprisonment up to 15 days, or both, with the Bureau of Administrative Adjudication authorized to assess penalties within that range.
