§ 18-30. Same—Nonresidential facilities or properties to comply

(a) Recycling laws apply not only to residential properties but also nonresidential facilities and properties. All nonresidential facilities or properties are required to separate the materials subject to Wis. Stats. chs. 287 and 289 which bans said material from landfills.

(b) Owners or designated agents of nonresidential facilities and properties shall do all of the following to the materials specified in section 18-27(a)(5)—(16):

(1) Notify in writing, at least semiannually, all users, tenants and occupants of the properties about the established recycling program;

(2) Provide adequate, separate containers for the collection of recyclable materials;

(3) Provide for the collection of the materials separated from the solid waste by the users, tenants and occupants and the delivery of the materials to a recycling facility; and

(4) Notify users, tenants and occupants of reasons to reduce and recycle, which materials are collected, how to prepare materials in order to meet the processing requirements, collection methods or sites, locations and hours of operation, and a contact person or company, including a name, address, and telephone number.

(c) The requirements specified in subsection (b) of this section do not apply to the owners or designated agents of nonresidential facilities and properties if the solid waste generated within the facilities or property is treated at a processing facility licensed by the state department of natural resources that recovers for recycling the materials specified in section 18-27(a)(5)—(16) from solid waste in as pure a form as is technically feasible.
