It shall be unlawful for any unauthorized person to remove garbage,
trash or recyclable material from the streets or sidewalks of the
Borough.
The following regulations shall govern the collection and removal
of trash and garbage from homeowners, tenants of single- or two-family
homes and owners or tenants of multifamily rental units, stores or
other buildings who utilize the Borough of Bellmawr or its authorized
agent for the collection of solid waste:
A. The user of the Borough solid waste removal service shall place the
required receptacles prior to collection between the curb and sidewalk
of his property or such other appropriate place adjacent to the nearest
public street.
B. The receptacles herein required, together with their contents, shall
be of such weights and design as to be conveniently handled by one
man, and the receptacles and contents shall not weigh more than 50
pounds. No trash or bags in paper or plastic bags outside of a proper
receptacle will be collected, and the placing of the same at curbside
shall be a violation of this article.
C. The receptacles or other items to be disposed of shall be placed
outside at the designated area after 6:00 p.m. of the day preceding
the day of collection and no later than 6:00 a.m. of the day of collection.
After collection, any empty containers shall be removed from the curbside
promptly, but not later than 7:00 p.m. of the day of collection.
D. The receptacle in which garbage is placed shall be a watertight container
with a lid to properly fit said container so as to prevent the garbage
from being distributed over the surface of any street, byway or public
place; provided, however, that it shall be lawful to securely wrap
garbage in stout paper packages, provided that said packages are placed
within the receptacle.
E. In areas where multiple dwelling common collection points are utilized,
each receptacle must be clearly marked with the residential address
permanently placed on the receptacle.
F. Improper disposal of hypodermic needles will result in discontinuation
of trash service. If a violation occurs, trash service will be discontinued
until the resident is enrolled into a safe syringe disposal program.
G. The rules and regulations for the collection and removal of all recyclable materials are set forth in Article
V, Recycling, of this chapter and must be complied with.
Any homeowners, tenants of single- or two-family homes and owners
of multifamily rental units, stores or other buildings who utilize
the Borough of Bellmawr or its authorized agent for the collection
of solid waste that violate or neglect to comply with any provision
of this article or any regulation promulgated pursuant thereto shall,
upon conviction of said violation, be fined the following amount for
