[Ord. No. 2010-847]
Proper management of solid waste is an important matter of public
health and safety. The source separation and recovery of certain recyclable
materials will serve the public interest by conserving energy and
natural resources and reducing waste disposal expenses. In accordance
with the requirements of the New Jersey Mandatory Source Separation
and Recycling Act (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.11 et seq.) and the 2009 Update
to the Monmouth County Solid Waste Management Plan, it is therefore
necessary to update and amend existing municipal rules and regulations
for the separation, storage, collection and recovery of designated
recyclable materials.
[Ord. No. 2010-847; Ord. No. 2013-890]
a. The municipality shall issue construction and demolition permits
only after the applicant has provided a Debris Management Plan identifying
the estimated number and types of containers to be used for the handling
of all solid wastes and recyclables generated during the project,
and arrangements for the proper disposition of the generated materials.
c. Inadequate or incomplete documentation may result in the forfeiture
of some or all of the required deposit.
[Ord. No. 2010-847]
