[Amended 12-27-2023 by Ord. No. 2023-20]
Solid waste/recycling municipal dropoff center: The Borough
shall provide a solid waste/recycling dropoff site center, which shall
be located at the Lindenwold Public Works Building, during regular
business hours of the Public Works Department. This dropoff is to
be used for residential solid waste/recycling that is inconvenient
to place at curbside for scheduled bulk pickup. No construction debris
in excess of 50 pounds generated by an individual, or from a single
site, shall be deposited at the municipal dropoff site. All debris
in excess of 50 pounds shall be taken to an approved recycling center
or landfill. Proof of residency in the Borough of Lindenwold is required
in order to use the municipal solid waste/recycling dropoff site.
Such proof may be provided by a resident showing his or her driver's
license or vehicle registration. In the event that a nonresident contractor
is hauling bulk trash for a resident to the municipal dropoff site,
a letter stating the resident's name, address and telephone number
and the contractor's authorization to haul bulk trash from that
residence with the resident's signature is required. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and within the discretion of the Public Works Superintendent,
in-person authorization, given directly by the resident to the Public
Works Superintendent or his designee, may be required before admittance
of the nonresident contractor to the dropoff site.
