§ 42-28. Disposal of solid waste; permit; application.

All solid waste containers shall be required to be emptied and their contents disposed of at least twice each week in residential districts, and as designated by the town commission in business and industrial districts. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article to permit an accumulation of solid waste upon any premises in the town for a period longer than four days without having arranged for disposal of such accumulation by some person qualified and licensed under this article to perform such service, or by the sanitary department of the town. In all cases in which solid waste is removed and disposed of by persons other than employees of the sanitary department, the owner or occupant of the premises from which such removal is made shall previously secure a written permit from the town commission. The application for such permit shall show the name and address of the person by which such removal is to be made, the nature of the vehicle in which it is to be transported, and the location at which and the manner in which the ultimate disposition of the solid waste is to be accomplished. No person shall contract for or permit himself to be employed for such private disposition of solid waste unless he shall have first procured a license therefor from the town.
