A code regulating the manner in which refuse may be stored,
collected and disposed of, declaring and defining certain conditions
as nuisances, fixing the responsibilities and duties of persons storing,
collecting and/or disposing of refuse and providing for issuance of
permits to collect refuse is hereby established pursuant to the provisions
of P.L. 1950, c. 188. A copy of said code is annexed hereto and made a part
hereof without the inclusion of the text thereof herein.
The said code established and adopted by this chapter is described
and commonly known as the "Solid Waste Code of New Jersey (1959)."
Three (3) copies of the said Solid Waste Code of New Jersey
(1959) have been placed on file in the office of the Clerk of the
township upon the introduction of this chapter and will remain on
file there until final action is taken on this chapter for use and
examination by the public.
Persons engaged in the business of collecting and/or disposing
of solid waste shall annually secure from the Clerk of the township
a license to carry on such business, the fee for which shall be ten
dollars ($10.) for each vehicle used to collect refuse. Such license
shall expire on the last day of December of each year.
Any person who violates any provision of or order promulgated
under this chapter or code established herein shall, upon conviction
thereof, be liable to a penalty of not less than two dollars ($2.)
nor more than one hundred dollars ($100.) for each violation. Each
day a particular violation continues shall constitute a separate offense.
