A code regulating the manner in which refuse may be stored,

as nuisances; fixing the responsibilities and duties of persons storing,
collecting and/or disposing of refuse and providing for issuance of

of c. 188, P.L. 1950. A copy of said code is annexed hereto and made
a part hereof without the inclusion of the text thereof herein.
The 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 said Solid Waste Code of New Jersey (1959)

Editor's Note: The original Section 4, concerning licensing,
which immediately followed this section, was deleted during codification
since this area of legislation is under the jurisdiction of the New
Jersey Public Utilities Commission pursuant to the Solid Waste Utility
Control Act of 1970 (N.J.S.A. 48:13A).
Any person who violates any provision of or order promulgated
under this chapter or the code established herein shall, upon conviction
thereof, be liable to a penalty of not less than two dollars ($2)
nor more than five hundred dollars ($500) for each violation. Each
day a particular violation continues shall constitute a separate offense.
