There is hereby established a program for the mandatory source
separation and collection of recyclable materials and leaf waste for
all properties in the Township. No person shall store, collect, transport,
treat or dispose of recyclable materials or leaf waste within the
Township except in accordance with this article. The use of a recycling
collector will not relieve any person from compliance with this article.
Nothing in this article shall be deemed to impair the ownership
of recyclable materials and leaf waste by the persons who generated
them unless and until recyclable materials and leaf waste are placed
at curbside or similar location for collection by the recycling collector.
From the time of placement of the recyclable materials and leaf
waste at the curb or other designated place for collection by the
recycling contractor, the recyclable materials and leaf waste shall
become the property of the recycling contractor. It shall be a violation
of this article for any person not authorized to collect or pick up,
or cause to be collected or picked up, any recyclable materials or
leaf waste placed at the curb or other designated place for collection
by the recycling collector.
The Board of Supervisors may adopt reasonable rules and regulations
for the purpose of carrying out the intent and purpose of this article.
