This article establishes a yard waste collection
and disposal program in the Township of Delran, so as to protect public
health, safety and welfare.
Sweeping, raking, blowing or otherwise placing
yard waste that is not containerized at the curb or along the street
is only allowed during the seven days prior to a scheduled and announced
collection, and shall not be placed closer than 10 feet from any storm
drain inlet. Placement of such yard waste at the curb or along the
street at any other time or in any other manner is a violation of
this chapter. If such placement of yard waste occurs, the party responsible
for placement of the yard waste must remove the yard waste from the
street, or said party shall be deemed in violation of this chapter.
The scheduled collection time shall be posted on the public bulletin
board at the Municipal Building and posted on the Township's Website.
The Township will not collect yard waste from
commercial or industrial properties. All such nonresidential properties
shall be responsible for disposing of yard waste in a manner consistent
with New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Regulations.
