[Adopted 2-9-2006 as Ch. 209 of the 2006 Code of the Borough of High Bridge]
A code regulating the manner in which refuse may be stored,
collected and disposed of; declaring and defining certain conditions
as nuisances; fixing the responsibilities and duties of persons storing,
collecting and/or disposing of refuse and providing for issuance of
permits to collect refuse, known as the Solid Waste Code of New Jersey
(1959), is hereby established. A copy of said code is annexed hereto
and made a part hereof without the inclusion of the text thereof herein.
Three copies of said Solid Waste Code of New Jersey (1959) have
been placed on file in the office of the Hunterdon County Department
of Health upon the introduction of this article and will remain on
file there, for use and examination by the public, until final action
is taken on this article.
There is hereby established a solid waste disposal utility charge
to reflect the solid waste disposal utility's actual costs. Each dwelling
unit billing shall be computed to include all administrative, operating
and capital costs for the removal of solid waste and recycling. The
annual charge shall be established by resolution of the Mayor and
Council and shall be billed in four quarterly installments. Commercial
units using a dumpster shall contract solid waste removal on their
own.
The Borough of High Bridge shall bill the owner of record of
each property for garbage pickup charges. All residential households
will be charged for solid waste pickup. All charges will be issued
on the quarterly water, sewer and solid waste bills. Charges shall
be a lien on the property in question and, if unpaid, shall be collected
in the same manner as collection for delinquent taxes as provided
for by law.
