disposition of certain of the above-designated recyclable materials from the
residences of the Borough of New Providence. Such collection shall be made
under the supervision of the Recycling Coordinator of the Borough of New Providence.

may be necessary to implement the purpose and intent of this chapter, and
said Coordinator shall provide for such rules and regulations as are necessary
to enforce this provision.
Any occupant of residential or nonresidential premises in the Borough
