materials on properties not owned or operated by the Borough of Oaklyn
to protect the environment, public health, safety and welfare, and
to prescribe penalties for failure to comply.

unless their use in the text of this article clearly demonstrates
a different meaning. When consistent with the context, words used
in the present tense include the future, words used in the plural
number include the singular number, and words used in the singular
number include the plural number. The word "shall" is always mandatory
and not merely directory.
