[Adopted 9-9-2004 by Ord. No. 25-2004]
It is the intention of the Township Committee,
the governing body of the Township of Hanover, to adopt an ordinance
establishing a yard waste collection and disposal program in the Township
of Hanover so as to protect the public health, safety and welfare
and to prescribe penalties for the failure to comply.
For the purpose of this article, the following
terms, phrases, words and their derivations shall have the meanings
stated herein unless their use in the text of this article clearly
demonstrates a different meaning. When not inconsistent with the context,
words used in the present tense include the future, words used in
the plural number include the singular number and words used in the
singular number include the plural number. The word "shall" is always
construed as mandatory and not permissive in nature.
The placement of yard waste in a trash can, bucket, bag or
other vessel, such as to prevent the yard waste from spilling or blowing
out into the street and coming into contact with stormwater.
Any individual, corporation, company, partnership, firm,
association or political subdivision of this state subject to municipal
jurisdiction. This definition includes the owners/contractors of lawn
care or landscaping service, including their employees, performing
lawn care and maintenance services on behalf of the owner or occupant
of any property located within the Township of Hanover.
Any street, avenue, boulevard, road, parkway, viaduct, drive
or other way which is an existing state, county or municipal roadway,
and includes the land between the street lines, whether improved or
unimproved, and may comprise pavement, shoulders, gutters, curbs,
sidewalks, parking areas and other areas within the street lines.
Leaves only.
Sweeping, raking, blowing or otherwise placing
leaves that are not containerized and placed 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 article. 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 article.
The provisions of this article shall be enforced
by the Township's Police Department and Building Department property
maintenance officers.
Any person, firm or corporation convicted of
violating the provisions of this article shall be subject to one or
more of the following penalties: to a fine not exceeding $1,000; imprisonment
up to 90 days; or a period of community service not exceeding 90 days.
Each and every day a violation occurs shall be deemed a separate and
distinct violation.
