[HISTORY: Adopted by the Common Council of the City of Corbin
City as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 10-14-1991 by Ord. No. 5-1991]
From and after the effective date of this chapter, all solid
waste materials that may accumulate and which are subject to collection
by the municipal contractor charged with such duties may only be collected,
removed and disposed of as provided by this chapter.
Every owner, lessee, agent occupant or other person having control
of any property covered by the terms of this chapter shall provide,
place, keep and make readily accessible for collection and removal
of all solid waste materials suitable and sufficient covered waste
receptacles or sealed heavy-duty trash bags for such purpose in accordance
with the provisions hereinafter set forth.
All bags or receptacles for solid waste materials shall be of
such size and shape that they can be handled by one man and so constructed
as to prevent the spilling or leakage of their contents and shall
not be filled higher than the top of the bag or container. Bags shall
be of a durable plastic material no less than two mils thick, which
shall be of durable construction and securely tied so that the contents
are sealed against spillage and leakage. Receptacles shall be either
metallic or rigid plastic containers, barrels, baskets or boxes, but
where the waste material is of such a nature that it cannot be deposited
in such receptacles, it must be securely bundled in such manner as
to permit easy handling and to prevent the contents thereof from being
scattered. All receptacles in which solid waste accumulations are
deposited shall have a separate cover, close fitting when in place,
shall not exceed a size larger than 32 gallons, and shall, when placed
for collection, not weigh in excess of 60 pounds. Such containers
or receptacles that have deteriorated to the extent of having jagged
or sharp edges capable of causing injuries to collectors and to others
who may have to handle the same shall be removed by the collector
and disposed of as refuse.
All bags and receptacles for solid waste materials shall be
placed by the occupant near the curbline so as to be easily collected
from the roadway, but not so near the curb or roadway as to project
therein or as to interfere with vehicles lawfully using said street
or roadway. All bags and receptacles shall be placed for collection
not more than 24 hours prior to the regular collection time so as
not to remain near the curbline for a longer period of time than is
reasonable prior to the collection thereof, and empty receptacles
or containers shall be removed immediately following collection of
the solid waste. No more than five bags and receptacles per residential
unit or property may be placed for collection at one time.
This chapter shall apply only to the disposal of normal household
waste. This chapter shall not apply to the disposal of recyclable
materials, construction debris or hazardous waste, as defined in N.J.S.A.
13:1E-51, which shall be separated from the normal household waste
when placed for disposal as otherwise directed by state, county or
local rules and regulations. The disposal of any substances not covered
by this chapter and/or disposal from properties not covered by this
chapter shall be the responsibility of the individual property owner
to accomplish in a lawful manner.
No person shall throw, lay, deposit or leave or cause to be
thrown, laid, deposited or left in or upon any street, avenue, roadway,
sidewalk or public right-of-way any household solid waste material
of any kind whatsoever, except in a manner specified for collection
as herein provided.
Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted to repeal or modify
any separate ordinance, rule or regulation for the recycling of waste
materials, and any such past, present or future recycling ordinances,
rules or regulations shall take precedence over the regulations established
in this chapter.
Any person violating the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to the general penalties provided in Chapter 103 of the Corbin City Code.
