that the following will not be allowed in the garbage, rubbish and refuse/trash:
Single Resign Narrow necked plastic—All narrow-necked plastic

of the opening is smaller than the diameter of the base (e.g., a soda
bottle is "narrow-necked", but a yogurt container is not).

excluding tissue paper, toweling, paper plates, cups, and other low-

of normal intended use (e.g. office paper, newspaper, unwaxed
cardboard and cereal boxes, but not used paper towels).

tube used to provide the visual display in televisions, computer
monitors and certain scientific instruments such as oscilloscopes. (310

The amendment will bring Chapter 115 of the Town By Laws in compliance with state
regulations which ban the disposal and transfer for disposal of certain hazardous and
recyclable items at Solid Waste Facilities.
