Every hauler, as a precondition to being licensed to do business
within the Township, shall be required to provide to its residential,
multifamily, commercial, municipal and institutional establishments
and properties the service of removing recyclables from their properties
at the curbside or an appropriate location on the premises. Any such
recyclables so removed by licensed haulers shall be kept separate
from municipal waste and shall be taken to a recycling facility for
the purpose of recycling.
The Township reserves the right by resolution to direct recyclables
to a designated recycling facility.
No licensed hauler shall accept, pick up or remove any bag or
other container of municipal waste which the hauler knows or has reason
to believe contains recyclables combined with municipal waste. Upon
discovery of such recyclables combined with municipal waste placed
at curbside or otherwise placed for pickup, the hauler shall affix
a tag or sticker to the container containing the recyclables.
In the event of any missed pickup, the collector shall collect
from the missed location within 24 hours of notification from the
missed resident, provided that the resident has abided by the terms
of his contract with the hauler.
All complaints regarding collection of recyclables or municipal
waste shall initially be reported to the collector. Any complaint
which the collector falls to resolve shall be reported, in writing,
to the Township.
Nothing contained herein shall impair or prohibit any recognized
civic, fraternal, charitable or benevolent organization, association
or society from undertaking the collection of recyclables from the
public. Any such collection activity can only occur prior to the recyclable
materials being placed at curbside or similar location for collection
by an authorized collector. Prior to initiating such activity, the
organization shall obtain authorization from the Township.
