This article shall apply to all major subdivision and site plan
applications.
All development plans shall utilize either Borough-provided
or privately contracted solid waste disposal and designated recyclable
collection, as follows:
A. Major subdivisions. All major subdivisions involving single- and
two-family detached dwellings shall utilize Borough-provided curbside
solid waste disposal and designated recyclable collection.
B. Site plans. All site plan applications shall provide for privately
contracted solid waste disposal and designated recyclable collection
designated recyclable materials. However, the Board may permit the
utilization of Borough-provided curbside solid waste disposal and
designated recyclable collection in appropriate situations.
The following standards shall be used to prepare and review
any site plan providing for privately contracted solid waste disposal
and designated recyclable collection storage facilities.
A. Location. All storage facilities shall be located in proximity to
one another or may be combined in a single common facility. Such facilities
shall be centrally located and convenient for the users of the site.
Designated recyclable storage facilities may be located inside a building.
Such facilities shall not be located as to be visual focal points
in courtyards or parking lots. Where located in a parking lot, such
facilities shall not be permitted to be placed on the paved surface
of the parking lot and shall be placed on a curbed area set back a
minimum of three feet from the curb edge of such parking lot.
B. Access. Adequate pedestrian and service vehicle access shall be provided
to all storage facilities. Such vehicular access shall accommodate
the type of service vehicles used for the collection of solid waste
and designated recyclable materials.
C. Size and capacity. The size and capacity of all storage facilities
shall be based on the size and capacity of bins and/or dumpsters utilized,
frequency of pickup and projected generation rates of users of the
site.
D. Odors. All storage facilities shall be designed to reduce discernible
odors and contain such within the storage facility area.
The following standards shall be used to prepare and review
any development plan:
A. Residential uses. All dwelling units shall be designed to have a
temporary designated recyclable storage area located either within
the interior of such unit in the kitchen, laundry room, basement or
storage closet or in an attached garage or private rear yard area.
Such area shall be designed to accommodate the average accumulated
volume of designated recyclables per dwelling unit per period of collection
and any necessary storage equipment. The minimum size of such storage
area shall be six square feet. Recyclable accumulation calculations
shall be based on average generation rates developed by the Association
of New Jersey Environmental Commissions.
B. Nonresidential uses. All nonresidential uses shall be designed to
have a temporary designated recyclable storage area located within
the building occupied by such use. Such storage area may be located
anywhere within the interior of a building, including basements, storage
closets or attached garages, but shall not be situated in a hallway
or corridor necessary for internal circulation or emergency access.
Such area shall be designed to accommodate the average accumulated
volume of designated recyclables per occupant per period of collection
and any necessary storage equipment. Recyclable accumulation calculations
shall be based on average generation rates developed by the Association
of New Jersey Environmental Commissions.
