[Adopted 6-12-1973 by Ord. No. 73-9 (Ch. 123 of the 1977 Code)]
The Township Committee shall from time to time establish an area of the Township to be used as a sanitary landfill and designated as the "Hillsborough Township sanitary landfill."
[Amended 5-27-1980 by Ord. No. 80-8]
Use of the sanitary landfill for dumping purposes shall be limited to persons, firms or corporations and their agents whose residences or places of doing business are within the confines of Hillsborough's municipal boundaries. Such persons, firms or corporations shall be privileged to use the sanitary landfill for the purpose of dumping garbage, refuse, rubbish, trash, waste materials and the like, all of which originate exclusively within the confines of the Hillsborough municipal boundaries. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation other than those above designated to enter into or upon the sanitary landfill or use the sanitary landfill for any purposes whatsoever, and it shall be unlawful to place in the sanitary landfill any garbage, refuse, rubbish, trash, waste materials or any matter whatsoever which originates outside the municipal boundaries of Hillsborough Township, whether or not the same is done by a Township resident or entity doing business within the Township. No scavengers nor any garbage, trash, rubbish and/or refuse collectors shall be permitted to make use of said sanitary landfill at any time.
The foregoing section notwithstanding, it shall be unlawful for anyone to place in the sanitary landfill any motor vehicles, large machinery or the like, any explosive or dangerous substances. Permission from the Zoning Officer must be obtained for the dumping in limited quantity of stumps, pieces of concrete, trees over four inches in diameter or the like.
[Added 6-12-1979 by Ord. No. 79-2; 8-14-1979 by Ord. No. 79-5]
The foregoing sections notwithstanding, it shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation or scavenger to dump in the sanitary landfill the contents of any roll-off container or any demolition or construction material, if the same is delivered to said landfill in a vehicle weighing eight tons or more.
The Township Committee from time to time shall establish by resolution the days of operation and the hours of operation of said sanitary landfill and such other rules and regulations as the Township Committee shall deem appropriate, so long as said rules and regulations shall be published once in a newspaper circulated in the Township and shall be posted conspicuously at the entrance to the sanitary landfill site. Failure to abide by any such rules and regulations so established shall be governed by the enforcement provisions of this article, and fines, penalties and revocation of dumping privileges may be imposed in accordance with said provisions.
The Township Committee shall from time to time, when it deems such need exists, create positions or jobs in connection with the maintenance or operation of said sanitary landfill and shall by resolution fix the compensation to be paid such personnel; provided, however, that this section shall not impose a duty upon the Township Committee to retain any employees for the operation and maintenance of the sanitary landfill unless the same shall be considered necessary for the promotion of the health and general welfare of the Township.
A. 
No person, firm or corporation shall be permitted to dump under any circumstances without first having procured a permit under the procedures set forth in this article. There shall be no fee whatsoever charged for the use of the sanitary landfill as authorized in this article.
[Amended 5-27-1980 by Ord. No. 80-8]
B. 
Access to the sanitary landfill by Township residents shall be gained by display on the left rear side window of the vehicle of a Class A numbered dumping permit, which permit will be issued without charge to any municipal resident by the Hillsborough Police Department upon appropriate proof of residence within the Township, and said permit sticker shall bear the vehicle license plate number and shall be affixed to the vehicle of said resident by the issuing officer, and a permanent record file shall be maintained of the numbered permits, the name and address of the resident and the license plate number of the vehicle to which said permit sticker is affixed.
C. 
Any possessor of a Class A permit is under a duty to notify the Police Department of an address change and to surrender the sticker upon removal from the Township or the sale of the vehicle.
