[Adopted 8-8-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-11]
There is hereby established a program for the
mandatory source separation of recyclable materials within the Borough
of Newfield, and the requirements of this program apply to all property
owners and tenants of such properties situated in the Borough of Newfield.
Such separation, collection and disposal of specified solid waste
and recyclable materials shall be in accordance with regulations establishing
conduct, hours, and requirements as adopted by the Mayor and Borough
Council, in conjunction with the Department of Public Works, to ensure
a safe, environmentally effective and economical program to benefit
the residents and businesses of the Borough of Newfield.
Containers will be issued to each property owner
generating solid waste for pickup and removal of said nonrecyclable
waste. All property owners of the Borough of Newfield who lease said
properties to tenants, whether single-family or multifamily units,
shall receive one container per property. Should a property owner/landlord
determine that more than one container is required for a multifamily
property, additional containers can be obtained from the Borough as
follows.
A $100 annual fee per additional container shall
be paid to the Clerk of the Borough of Newfield for each calendar
year or any portion of a calendar year for which the additional container(s)
is required. The annual fee must be paid on or before January 15 of
each calendar year that the additional container(s) is utilized. A
late fee of $10 will be imposed for all annual payments not made on
or before January 15.
This article shall be enforced by any member
of the Public Works Department, the Borough Code Enforcement Officer,
any Borough Police Officer, or any other person so designated by resolution
of the Mayor and Borough Council.
