MEMORANDUM:
TO: Village Council
FROM: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager --7-a���
DATE: October 19, 1989
SUBJECT: Ordinance Prohibiting Scavenging of Recyclable
Materials
Attached is an Ordinance for your consideration relative to
prohibiting scavengers from taking the recyclable materials
placed at curbside by Tequesta residents. This may seem
trivial, but we have received reports of this occurring and, if
left unchecked, this has the potential of financially effecting
the Recycling Program by reducing revenues received from
redemption of recyclable materials. Additionally, upon proper
enforcement of the Ordinance, it will reduce the flow of persons
traversing throughout the Village to scavenge for recyclable
materials.
It is recommended that the Village Council adopt this
Ordinance for the reasons stated herein.
