[Amended 6-10-1986 by Ord. No. 5-1986]
A. All garbage and refuse originating within the township
shall be disposed of only:
(1) By removal beyond the limits of the township by a
licensed collector; or
(2) In the case of garbage originating on a bona fide
farm, by feeding to animals maintained upon the same premises, provided
that such be in accordance with good farming practice.
B. In no case may garbage be brought into the township
for the purpose of disposal therein, nor may garbage be disposed of
within the limits of the township by burning. Pending disposal as
hereby authorized, garbage may be stored in covered containers only
and in such limited quantities and for such limited period of time
as shall ensure that no annoyance, nuisance or health hazard shall
be created or maintained thereby.
No person shall permit any outfalling from the
conveyance of refuse to lie upon any premises or upon or along any
public or private road in the township. Failure of any licensed collector
to remove the same after being notified to do so by the township police
or other township official shall be grounds for immediate cancellation
of such license.
