[Ord. 175-2014, 8/13/2014, § 210-401]
There is hereby established a program for the mandatory source-separation and collection of leaf waste within Honey Brook Township. The occupant or owner of a home, apartment, or other residential establishment shall separate leaf waste from other municipal solid waste. Owners, landlords and agents of owners or landlords will be responsible for compliance with the collection of leaf waste in accordance with this Part. All persons occupying commercial, institutional and/or municipal establishments within the Township shall collect and separate leaf waste in accordance with this Part and store the leaf waste until collected and recycled.
[Ord. 175-2014, 8/13/2014, § 210-402]
1. 
All leaf waste shall be source-separated from municipal solid waste and recyclable materials. Leaf waste shall be collected by a municipal waste collector in accordance with a schedule established annually by the municipal waste collector, but no less than one collection in the Spring and no less than twice during the months of September through December. When the municipal waste collector has scheduled collection of leaf waste, leaf waste shall be placed in separate containers (can, box or bag) at the curb for collection. Leaf waste collected must be taken to a state permitted compost facility.
2. 
Residents have the option of disposing of leaf waste by composting and/or mulching, and therefore would not be required to comply with the provisions of this section if they choose to compost their leaf waste. Backyard compost should be managed as to not create a nuisance.
3. 
Residents have the option of disposing of leaf waste by self-hauling to a state approved compost facility, such as the Chester County Lanchester Landfill Composting Site, and therefore would not be required to contract a municipal waste collector for disposition of leaf waste.
[Ord. 175-2014, 8/13/2014, § 210-403]
Nothing contained herein shall prohibit a farmer from carrying out the normal activities of his farming operation on farm use property, including use of newspaper (e.g., shredding for bedding for farm animals), composting and spreading of manure or other farm-produced agricultural wastes, as provided for under the Pennsylvania Right-to-Farm Act, 3 P.S. § 951 et seq., as amended by Act No. 1998-58, provided that such activities are conducted in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations.
