a yard waste collection and disposal program in the Town of Phillipsburg,
so as to protect public health, safety and welfare, and to prescribe
penalties for the failure to comply.

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 Department of Municipal Services, Housing Inspectors and Police
Department.
