[Adopted 2-26-1979 by Ord. No. 79-5]
The territory or area contained within the limits
of the Township of Pennsauken be and is hereby set off, created and
established as Garbage Collection District No. 1.
Collection shall be performed in the manner
set forth under N.J.S.A. 40:152-1 et seq.[1] and in accordance with the Township Code and any trash
collection contract in effect. The Township Manager shall have the
authority for the implementation of that collection and to make such
rules and regulations as are necessary for such efficient collection.

Editor's Note: N.J.S.A. 40:152-1 et seq. was
repealed by L. 1989, c. 157. However, Chapter 54 of the Laws of 1991
reauthorized the creation of garbage districts for municipalities
having garbage districts prior to the effective date of L. 1989, c.
157 (January 1, 1990).
There shall be raised, by levying and collection,
at the same time and in the same manner as other Township taxes, within
the limits of said Garbage Collection District No. 1, sufficient moneys
to provide for the payment of the costs of removing and disposing
of the garbage, refuse, trash and other refuse matter from said district.
The Tax Collector of the Township of Pennsauken shall pay said sum
to the Township Treasurer, and said sum so raised and collected shall
be applied to the purpose for which it is raised.
All moneys assessed and levied as aforesaid
shall be a lien upon the lands and premises against which they shall
be assessed, in the same manner that taxes are made a lien against
lands in the Township of Pennsauken, and the payment thereof shall
be enforced within the same time and the same manner and by the same
proceeding as the payment of taxes is enforced in the Township of
Pennsauken, as provided by statute.
The cost of collecting, removing and disposing
of garbage, trash and refuse shall be raised by assessing and levying
all properties and buildings within the Township of Pennsauken.
