[Ord. 1771, 5/23/1985, § 1]
1.
Findings of Fact.
A.
The Board of Commissioners of the Township of Harrison finds that
Township government expenses can be reduced by ending the Township's
participation in the selection of garbage collection contractors and
the Township's involvement in garbage collection billing.
B.
Garbage, rubbish and trash collection can be adequately performed
in the Township through operation of the free enterprise system if
the Township permits and requires residents to contract with licensed
collectors of their choice for such collection.
C.
The Township's involvement in garbage, rubbish and trash collection
can appropriately be limited to that of licensing collectors, regulating
collection and enforcing the prohibition of dumping within the Township.
D.
The uncontrolled accumulation or disposal of garbage, rubbish, or
trash creates a hazard and danger to the health, safety and welfare
of the people of the Township of Harrison.
2.
Declaration of Policy.
A.
The purpose of this Part is to reduce Township government expenditures,
to promote the freedom of choice, free enterprise system and business
opportunity as respects collection of garbage, rubbish and trash in
the Township and to protect the health, safety and welfare of people
of the Township by regulating such collection.
[Ord. 1771, 5/23/1985, § 2; as amended by Ord.
1838, 7/25/1994, § 1]
1.
No person shall keep, bury or suffer to remain on any property, public
or private, any garbage, rubbish or trash or dump the same upon any
lot or piece of ground within the Township of Harrison or upon the
shores or into the waters of any stream or body of water, or into
any sewer, inlet or upon any sidewalk or street within the Township.
No person shall use or permit to be used any spot or premises within
the Township as a private dump for garbage, rubbish or trash.
[Ord. 1771, 5/23/1985, § 3; as amended by Ord.
1822, 11/18/1991, § 1; and by Ord. 1838, 7/25/1994, § 2]
1.
From and after June 1, 1985, all garbage, rubbish and trash originating
from residential dwellings within the Township shall be restored,
collected and removed solely as hereinafter provided.
B.
Collections must be made at least every seventh day at the curb in
front of each residential dwelling or in the alley as may be applicable.
Residents are responsible for taking their garbage to the curb or
alley and returning containers to their property.
C.
Collections must be made between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. prevailing time in the areas and on the days designated in the collection schedule attached to this Part as § 20-110 hereof, which schedule may be revised by resolution of the Township Board of Commissioners.
[Amended by Ord. No. 1999, 8/27/2018]
D.
In order to prevent unexpected discontinuance of collection, collectors
must provide 30 days' written notice to the Township and to any affected
resident prior to ceasing regular collection from any resident. This
requirement shall apply regardless of whether the collector has been
fully or promptly paid for collection, however, this provision is
in no way intended to relieve residents of their legal obligations
to pay for collection.
E.
All municipal waste, garbage, rubbish or trash collected within the
Township shall ultimately be disposed only at a landfill cited in
the Allegheny County Solid Waste Plan — 1990, or in subsequent
revisions thereto.
F.
The owner, landlord or agent of the landlord, and the tenants and/or
occupants of the dwelling shall be responsible for the prompt collection
and removal of recyclables and solid waste and the timely payment
of bills for collection of solid waste or recyclables. Should any
of these persons fail to arrange for the prompt collection and removal
of recyclables and solid waste, or timely payment to an authorized
hauler for collection services, they may be prosecuted in accordance
with the Sections of this Part governing penalties for violation and
permitting other remedies for failure to comply. In particular, and
without limitation on any other remedy, landlords are responsible
for the prompt collection and removal of recyclables and solid waste
generated by tenants, and landlords shall be deemed in violation of
this Part to the extent that their tenants fail to arrange for prompt
collection and removal of solid waste and recyclables and/or prompt
payment of bills issued by authorized haulers for solid waste or recyclables
collection.
G.
When
uncollected garbage poses a health hazard, the Township is authorized
through its proper officers to have an emergency collection made of
any garbage uncollected at any property due to nonpayment of the garbage
bill. Such emergency collection may be by the Township's own personnel
or by third parties. In either case, the Township may file any necessary
legal proceedings to hold the property owner and/or any tenant or
other occupant individually or jointly liable for all costs of such
collection plus attorneys' fees, and, in addition, the Township may
also lien the property for all costs of such collection plus attorneys'
fees.

B.
Recycling in the Township will be done most efficiently if the collection
of recyclables is carried out in conjunction with the collection of
solid waste.
C.
A successful recycling program will require source separation by
Township residents and the use of standardized collection practices
and uniform containers for pick up of recyclables.
D.
The success of the Township recycling program will be jeopardized
if standard containers and collection practices are not used or if
recyclables are removed from containers before authorized collection
personnel can pick up the recyclables.
