TOWN OF NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING CENTER OPERATIONS Regulations governing the North Attleborough Collection and Disposal of Solid Waste and Sanitary Landfill of the Town of North Attleborough, were adopted on November 14, 1991 and effective November 22, 1991, and have been revised on March 5, 1992, October 29, 1992, April 22, 1993, August 19, 1993, July 1, 1994, July 1, 1999, July 1, 2000, July 1, 2005, July 1, 2006, July 1, 2008 and July 1, 2009. The current regulations having been the subject of a public hearing on June 2, 2011 and are hereby revised and adopted on June 2, 2011 and are entitled Town Of North Attleborough Rules And Regulations For Solid Waste and Recycling Collection And Disposal And Recycling Center Operations. On March 16, 1998, an Administrative Consent Order, Number SE-96-4003, was issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, Department of Environmental Management mandating that the Town of North Attleborough close its Landfill. The Town of North Attleborough complied with the Administrative Consent Order on August 15, 1998. The Town of North Attleborough implemented a Pay-As-You-Throw system of waste disposal on September 8, 1998. The Town also maintained a transfer station formerly known as the Convenience Center for use by the residents that participate in the Town s Residential Curbside Collection System. With the closing of the Town s landfill, the operation of the Town s transfer station and the change in the waste disposal and recycling practices, the Town the North Attleborough Board of Selectmen hereby adopts the following: I. OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES A. Operations or procedures that are covered by Item G of Section 1 of Article II of the Town By-Laws and 310 C.M.R. 19.00, et seq., Department of Environmental Protection Solid Waste Management Regulations. B. The Recycling Center, formerly known as the Convenience Center, was established on August 17, 1998, for use by those residents that have complied with the Pay-As-You- Throw program and have paid their annual Residential Curbside Collection Solid Waste Fee in full. Its purpose is to accept those materials that are acceptable in the curbside collections, plus wood, metal, non-freon bearing appliances, freon bearing appliances, televisions, computer monitors, propane tanks, fluorescent lightbulbs, universal waste, mercury and tires. It is not intended to be an alternate to the former Landfill disposal site nor is it for large quantities of material but only those items, in small quantities, that need to be disposed of by the Towns residents. 1

The Recycling Center Hours of Operation are from 8:00 A.M. - 2:30 P.M. on Friday, Saturday and Monday. When the celebration of an observed Town holiday coincides with a normal day of operation, the Recycling Center will be closed for the day. The Recycling Center may be closed without prior notice in the event of inclement weather (ice & snow accumulation or flooding) or other extenuating circumstances. Should closing be necessary, notices will be posted on the Solid Waste Department s phone messaging service. All recyclable materials, which are normally accepted without charge during the weekly residential curbside collections, will be accepted in the same manner at the Recycling Center at no charge and must be from the participating residence and in the vehicle to which the sticker or pass was issued. All trash placed in Town bags or regular bags with designated bag tags, will be accepted at no charge and must be from the participating residence and in the vehicle to which the sticker or pass was issued. All white goods, CRT s. TV s, propane tanks, fluorescent light bulbs, freon appliances and tires are accepted at those fees indicated in Appendix A. Fee Schedule and must be from the participating residence and in the vehicle to which the sticker or pass was issued. All household trash not bagged or tagged and all metal and wood waste will be accepted at the Recycling Center by weight. The weight is determined by the vehicle entering the onsite scale upon its arrival to verify the gross weight of the vehicle and the material for disposal and again after the material has been unloaded. The difference between these two weights gives a net weight of the material being disposed. The disposal cost for this material will be charged a rate per ton as indicated in Appendix A. Fee Schedule. Massachusetts DEP waste bans as outlined in 310 CMR 19.017(3) will be enforced. C. Curbside collection services of residential waste and recyclables are performed on Monday through Friday on designated days for different areas within the Town. When the celebration of an observed Town holiday occurs within any week, waste and recyclable collections are delayed one day from the normal designated collection day and the Friday service will be performed on Saturday. II. III. FEE SCHEDULE Please see Appendix A SOLID WASTE FEE A. All single family homes, condominiums and apartment houses up to 4 units are eligible participants in the curbside trash and recycling program. All eligible dwelling units unless otherwise abated shall be charged a Solid Waste Fee per unit, under the authority of Item H (1,2,3) of Section 1 of Article II of the Town By-Laws.
