PROPOSED MODEL ORDI-
NANCE
FOR THEFT OF RECY-
CLABLES
ORDINANCE NO. 243
An ordinance making it unlawful for
any person to take or convert recyclables
without authority.
The City Council of Medina ordains:
Section 1. Purpose and Intent. It has
come to the attention of the City that
unauthorized collection of recyclable
material has occurred from private drive-
ways, curbsides and designated drop
sites due to rising market prices for cer-
tain recydables such as aluminum cans.
The City has designated an authorized
private contractor to collect recyclables
within its jurisdictional limits and pays the
contractor for this service through direct
billing of its residents. However, the
charges are minimal for this service, a
condition made possible by the contrac-
tors' ability to sell the recyclables on the
open market. To the extent the contrac-
tor is deprived of recyclables it is de-
prived of the income therefrom, thus
tending to make the contractors service
more expensive to the City's residents.
Furthermore, the collection of recy-
clables by only authorized servicing con-
tractors tends to promote public safety
by ensuring that only property main-
tained and licensed equipment is used
by the collecting party, which is easily
identifiable by residents and public
safety officials. Accordingly, it is deemed
to be in the public interest to prohibit the
unauthorized collection of recyclables
within the city from private driveways,
curbsides or designated drop sites.
Section 2. Definitions. For purposes
of this ordinance the following words and
phrases have the meanings set forth
below:
2.1 "Recyclables" or "Recyclable Ma-
terial" means and includes objects made
of glass, paper, tin, aluminum or plastic
and/or used motor oil and automobile
batteries which have been collected and
separated by the users or consumers of
the products contained therein and
placed by them outside their residence
on or near the driveway or the curbside
of any adjacent public street or at a des-
ignated drop site for the purpose of col-
lection and removal.
2.2 "Authorized Contractor" means
and includes any person specifically
designated by the city council to collect
recyclables or recyclable material from
driveways, curbsides or designated drop
sites within the city.
2.3 "Person" means and includes any
natural person, corporation, partnership,
or association.
2.4 "City" means the City of Medina.
Section 3. Unlawful Acts. It shall be
unlawful for any person to take, collect,
or in any way convert to their own use
any recyclables or recyclable materials
unless and until he/she/it has been des-
ignated in writing by the city council as an
authorized recycling contractor. In the
event the city should rescind any ex-
press written authority previously given
to a person to collect recyclables within
the city, such person shall cease and
desist from collecting the same within 10
days of his/her/its receipt of such notice.',
Section 4. Penalty. It shall be a mis-10
demeanor punishable by up to $700.00
fine or 90 days imprisonment or both for'
any person to violate this ordinance.
Section 5. Effective Date. This ordi '
nance shall be effective upon its pas-
sage and publication.
