Full Breakdown

' The Trash Pickup Law, Chapter 235 Article I, defines the households it covers in § 235-2: DWELLING OR UNIT means any one-, two- or three-family residential building, excluding all condominiums, located in the unincorporated areas of the Town of Ramapo, so the Town-run curbside service reaches single-family and small multifamily homes outside the villages but not condo developments, which arrange waste service separately. The Town's separate Solid Waste Management Law, Chapter 235 Article III, licenses private carters that serve establishments and larger generators, underscoring that the Article I curbside program is specifically the Town's own DPW-run residential service.

Placement within that DPW schedule follows the curb and container rules of § 235-3B, and the whole program is enforced as a Class 3 Town Code violation.

Violations & Fines

The Police Department or the § 376-140 zoning enforcement official may issue an appearance ticket under § 235-4 for any violation of the chapter's placement or participation rules. Section 235-5 classifies a violation as a Class 3 violation under Town Code § 1-15 et seq., with each day of continuing violation a separate offense.
