As used in this chapter:
RECYCLING AREA
Shall mean space allocated for collection and storage of
source separated recyclable materials.
REFUSE AREA
Shall mean space allocated for collection and storage of
all putrescible and nonputrescible solid wastes (except body waste)
including garbage, rubbish, ashes, street cleanings, dead animals,
abandoned automobiles, and solid market and industrial wastes, excepting,
however, any nonputrescible solid wastes which constitute source separated
recyclable materials.
There shall be included in any application for development that
requires subdivision or site plan approval an indoor or outdoor recycling
area and an indoor or outdoor refuse area. The dimensions of the recycling
and refuse areas shall be sufficient to accommodate recycling bins
or containers and refuse bins or containers which are of adequate
size and number, and which are consistent with anticipated usage and
with current methods of collection in the area in which the project
is located. The dimensions of the recycling and refuse areas and the
bins or containers shall be determined in consultation with the director
of public works of the City of Wildwood or his designee, and shall
be consistent with the district recycling plan adopted pursuant to
section 3 of P.L. 1987, c. 102 (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.13), any applicable
requirements of the municipal master plan adopted pursuant to section
26 of P.L. 1987, c. 102, and the trash and recycling ordinances of
the City of Wildwood.
The recycling area shall be conveniently located for the disposition
of source separated recyclable materials, preferably near, but clearly
separated from, the refuse area.
The recycling and refuse areas shall be well lit, and shall
be safely and easily accessible by recycling and refuse personnel
and vehicles. Collection vehicles shall be able to access the recycling
and refuse areas without interference from parked cars or other obstacles.
Reasonable measures shall be taken to protect the recycling and refuse
areas and the bins or containers placed therein, against theft of
recyclable materials, theft of bins or containers, and from contamination.
The recycling area or the bins or containers placed therein
shall be designed so as to provide protection against adverse environmental
conditions which might render the collected materials unmarketable.
Any bins or containers which are used for the collection of recyclable
paper or cardboard, and which are located in an outdoor recycling
area, shall be equipped with a lid, or otherwise covered, so as to
keep the paper or cardboard dry.
Signs clearly identifying the recycling area and the materials
accepted therein shall be posted adjacent to all points of access
to the recycling area. Individual bins or containers shall be equipped
with signs indicating the materials to be placed therein.
Landscaping and/or fencing shall be provided around any outdoor
recycling area and shall be developed in an aesthetically pleasing
manner.
Provisions shall be made for cleaning the recycling and refuse
areas in such a manner so as to prevent runoff of liquids into the
storm sewers or public right of way.
