[Amended 12-15-2014 by Ord. No. 424-14]
A. Collection. Collection of municipal solid waste and recyclables on
commercial, institutional and Township properties is not handled by
the hauler selected by the Township to provide collection services
from single-family residences and multifamily residential properties
with less than four units. The owners/occupants of commercial, institutional
and Township properties shall contract for their own collection of
solid waste and recycling, subject to, as applicable, federal, state,
county and Township laws and regulations, Pennsylvania Act 101, the Chester County Solid Waste Management Plan, 2009 Revision,
and any future revisions thereto, and this chapter.
B. Containers. Storage of municipal solid waste and recyclables on commercial,
institutional and Township properties may be done in the same type
of containers as required for residential properties or in dumpsters
as may be determined appropriate by the owner/occupant of such properties.
C. Location of containers. Dumpsters, refuse containers or containers
for recyclables at commercial, institutional or Township properties
shall be located on such properties at a place agreed upon by the
owner and/or occupant of the commercial, institutional or Township
property and the hauler hired by such owner/occupant. This location,
and buffering, if required, shall be in compliance with zoning or
other applicable Township requirements for the location of such containers.
Such locations shall not interfere with public or private sidewalks,
walkways, driveways, roads, streets, highways, alleys, or entrances
and exits of public or private buildings.
All municipal solid waste produced, collected and transported
from within the jurisdictional limits of Easttown Township shall be
disposed of in a manner and at the facilities designated in the Chester
County Solid Waste Management Plan, 2009 Revision, and any future
revisions thereto. Disposal shall comply with all applicable federal,
state, county and Township laws and regulations.
All waste materials resulting from the building, structural
alteration, repair, construction, or demolition of buildings or structures
shall be disposed of as permitted by applicable Township, state, and
federal laws and regulations as may be in effect, or as subsequently
imposed. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to ensure
the disposal of such waste in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit
any person not regularly engaged in the business of collecting municipal
solid waste from hauling his/her construction and demolition waste
to a state-permitted disposal facility or to a disposal facility as
designated by the Township in accordance with the regulations of the
disposal facility.
