No bulk storage container, storage container, storage device, "pod," or similar container shall be placed or maintained by any private party in or on any Borough property, street or right-of-way.
No bulk storage container, storage container, storage device, "pod," or similar container shall be placed or maintained on any private property unless it complies with one or more of the following provisions:
A. 
Such containers may be placed or maintained on a driveway or other suitably paved area for purposes of packing or unpacking goods and materials of the owner or occupant of the property in preparation for or subsequent to moving into or out of the property for a period of not more than 10 consecutive days.
B. 
Such containers may be placed or maintained on a driveway or other suitably paved area for purposes of storing the goods and materials of the owner or occupant of the property when necessary during renovation or rehabilitation of the structure located on the premises in which the goods or materials would otherwise be located during the period of renovation or rehabilitation and up to 10 days prior to commencement and 10 subsequent to completion of the work. This time period may be extended by the Construction Code Official but in no event shall be for more than a total of 60 days.
No trash dumpster, roll-off container, or similar container for trash or debris of any type may be placed or maintained by any private party in or on any Borough property, street, or right-of-way except in compliance with the provisions of this article. Furthermore, no trash dumpster, roll-off container, or similar container for trash or debris of any type may be placed or maintained on any private property within the Borough except in compliance with the provisions of this article or in a manner and location as set forth on a duly approved site plan.
Prior to the placement of any dumpster, roll-off container, or similar container in or on any Borough property, street, or right-of-way, or on any private property (not covered by a duly approved site plan) the owner or user of such container shall apply for and receive a permit from the Borough pursuant to the provisions and standards set forth herein.
A. 
Application for the permit shall be made to the Office of the Borough Clerk or such other office as the Borough Council may from time to time designate on a form provided by the Borough. The application shall require, among other things, the full name, address, and other contact information for both the owner of the container and the owner of the property with which the use of the container is associated. The application shall be accomplished by a permit fee of $25 for the placement of any dumpster, roll-off container, or similar container in or on any Borough property, street, or right-of-way. There shall be no application fee for the placement of any dumpster, roll-off container, or similar container on private property.
B. 
Any container to be placed on a street or right-of-way shall be placed on the street in a legal parking space as approved or designed by the Borough and shall be equipped with appropriate reflectors or other safety markings so that the container will not constitute a hazard to traffic. The specific number, location, and nature of the markings shall be determined by the Borough Police in the exercise of their discretion and shall be noted on the permit as a condition of its issuance. An inspection of container shall be made by the Superintendent of Public Works to determine its best location and placement so to ensure no damage to the Borough's street or right-of-way, and shall be noted on the permit as a condition of its issuance.
C. 
Any permit issued for placement of a container on a street, right-of-way or other public property shall be valid for a period of five days and a sticker or notice shall be prominently displayed on the street side of the container indicating the commencement and expiration date of the permit.
D. 
Any container placed on private property shall be placed on a suitable base to assure stability. If, in the opinion of the Borough Police, the location is sufficiently near to a public vehicular or pedestrian path, the permit may require suitable safety markings as set forth in Subsection B above.
E. 
Any permit issued for placement of a container on private property shall be valid for a period of 10 days and a sticker or notice shall be prominently displayed on the street side of the container indicating the commencement and expiration date of the permit.
F. 
Upon a showing of continued need for the container (such as during the course of major construction projects), permits may be renewed up to three times for periods of up to five days upon application for renewal and payment of an additional fee of $15.
G. 
Any damage caused, directly or indirectly, by the placement of any dumpster, roll-off container, or similar container in or on any Borough property, street, or right-of-way shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the owner or user of such container, who shall be required to repair the Borough property, street or right-of-way to the condition of such property immediately before the placement of such dumpster, roll-off container, or similar container on this Borough property to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Public Works of the Borough of Oaklyn, pursuant to the written directions for the repair provided by the Superintendent of Public Works.
