Mandatory source separation. It shall be mandatory for all persons who are owners, tenants, or occupants of residential and nonresidential properties, including but not limited to commercial, industrial, governmental, educational and institutional locations within the City, (i.e., all properties subject to and not subject to municipal collection) to separate designated recyclable materials from all solid waste. Designated recyclable materials shall be deposited separate and apart from other solid waste generated by the owners, tenants, or occupants of such properties. For properties subject to municipal collection, designated recyclable materials shall be placed separately at the curb in a manner and on such days and times as may be established by regulations promulgated by the City.
B. 
Exemptions. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.16(d), the governing body may exempt persons occupying properties not subject to municipal collection, including but not limited to commercial, industrial or institutional premises within the City, from the source separation requirements of this chapter that require persons generating municipal solid waste within the City to source separate from the municipal solid waste stream the specified recyclable materials, if those persons have otherwise provided for the recycling of all designated recyclable materials. To be eligible for an exemption pursuant to this chapter, a property not subject to municipal collection, including but not limited to a commercial, industrial or institutional generator of solid waste, shall file an application for exemption with the Municipal Recycling Coordinator on a form to be provided for this purpose. The form shall include, at a minimum, the following information:
(1) 
The name of the entity not subject to municipal collection.
(2) 
The street address and block and lot designation of the entity not subject to municipal collection.
(3) 
The name, official title and phone number of the person making application on behalf of the entity not subject to municipal collection.

A certification that the designated recyclable materials will be recycled, and that, at least on an annual basis, said recycling service provider for the generator not subject to municipal collection shall provide written documentation to the Municipal Recycling Coordinator of the total number of tons collected and recycled for each designated recyclable material.
The owner of any residential property shall be responsible for compliance with this chapter. For multifamily properties, the owner or management is responsible for setting up and maintaining the recycling system, including collection of recyclable materials, in accordance with guidelines or regulations established by the City. Violations and penalty notices will be directed to the owner or management in those instances where the violator is not easily identifiable. The owner or management shall issue notification and collection rules to new tenants when they arrive and every six months during their occupancy.

All commercial, industrial and institutional (i.e., nonresidential) generators of solid waste shall be required to comply with the provision of this chapter.

The arrangement for collection of designated recyclable materials hereunder shall be the responsibility of the commercial, industrial or institutional (i.e., nonresidential) property owner or their designee, unless the City provides for the collection of designated recyclable materials.

Every commercial, industrial or institutional (i.e., nonresidential) facility shall report on an annual basis to the Municipal Recycling Coordinator, on such forms as may be prescribed, on recycling activities at their premises, including the amount of recycled material, by material type, collected and recycled and the vendor or vendors providing recycling service.

All food-service establishments, as defined in the Health Code, shall, in addition to compliance with all other recycling requirements, be required to recycle grease and/or cooking oil created in the processing of food or food products, and maintain such records as may be prescribed, for inspection by any code enforcement officer.
