The same meaning given in § 282-1.
A.
No garbage,
rubbish, recycling, or other waste matter shall be permitted or otherwise
stored on the exterior of any building except in suitable, durable,

B.
All such receptacles, as set forth in Subsection A hereof, shall at all times when on the exterior of the premises remain sealed with tight-fitting covers. It shall be a violation of this section to allow empty, partially filled containers and/or containers filled in any manner or degree with garbage, rubbish or other waste material to remain on the exterior of the premises with the cover or seal partially or fully open.
C.
The exterior
of all buildings and/or businesses in the Borough shall be maintained
in a clean, safe and sanitary condition, free from any accumulation
of garbage, rubbish or other waste material.
D.
All containers,
receptacles or dumpsters for garbage, rubbish and/or other waste material,
if designed with drain plugs, shall have such drain plugs in place
and closed except during cleaning. Every such container, receptacle
and/or dumpster shall be kept covered, except when being filled or
emptied. All such garbage, rubbish or waste material shall be removed
promptly from the premises so as not to create a nuisance or health
hazard, and each such container, receptacle or dumpster shall, immediately
upon emptying, be properly and adequately cleaned.
E.
All buildings
not currently serviced by the Borough's contract with its private
refuse hauler shall have an adequate number of containers, receptacles
or dumpsters of sufficient size to handle safely and adequately all
garbage, refuse and other waste material generated by the building
and/or the tenants thereof.
F.
All buildings
not currently serviced by the Borough's contract with its private
refuse hauler shall have in place contracts, agreements or other arrangements
for the safe, legal and proper disposition of the garbage, refuse
and other waste material being generated by the building and/or the
tenants thereof.
G.

H.
Each and
every building owner and/or business located in the Borough not currently
covered by the Borough's contract with its private refuse hauler shall
file with the Borough, on a form approved by the Borough, certification
under oath that safe, legal and proper arrangements have been made
for the disposition of garbage, refuse and other waste material which
is being generated by it or the occupants of its building in the Borough.
Each and every existing building owner and/or business located in
the Borough on the effective date of this section shall be in compliance
with all terms of this section within 30 days of its enactment. Thereafter,
each building owner and/or business shall be in compliance with this
section at the time a certificate of occupancy is issued or within
10 days of establishing a business address within the Borough.
I.
All garbage, rubbish and recycling stored on the exterior of any
building shall, if possible, be stored in the rear of the property.
If storage in the rear of the house is not possible due to house location,
or lot topography, garbage, rubbish and recycling may also be stored
on the side of the house. Garbage, rubbish, and recycling is only
ever permitted in front of the house if it is in the driveway area
nearest the house. However, the Borough Manager may, upon satisfactory
proof that a hardship exists, grant a waiver of the storage location
restriction to such a resident who applies for a waiver in advance
of the violation.

All garbage, rubbish, or recycling for which a container is not available
must be stored inside a structure until it is placed at the curb for
