Oneida, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 77 § 77-46
Incinerators
Operative Text
A. Incinerators shall be of adequate capacity for the intended use. B. Flue-fed incinerators shall be equipped with means for burning auxiliary fuel in sufficient quantity to assure complete combustion of refuse. C. A flue serving an incinerator shall be provided with a substantially constructed spark arrester. D. Incinerators shall be connected to a suitable noncombustible chimney, smokestack or flue. E.

Section 77-46 of Oneida's Code of Ordinances establishes technical standards for incinerators used in residential or other buildings. The rule requires that incinerators be properly sized, connected to noncombustible exhaust systems, equipped with spark arresters, and designed to allow refuse to pass freely without clogging. Flue-fed models must also have auxiliary fuel capability to ensure complete combustion.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners operating incinerators in Oneida must ensure their equipment meets every requirement set out in Ch. 77 § 77-46, including adequate capacity, proper chimney or flue connections made of noncombustible materials, and functioning spark arresters. Flue-fed units require an auxiliary fuel system capable of achieving complete combustion of refuse. Compliant operators routinely inspect connections and passage points to confirm refuse flows freely and that no component creates a fire or air-quality hazard.
