A. 
Consistent with N.J.S.A. 27:51-1, no person shall park or leave unattended any portable waste or refuse container, commonly known as a "roll-off dumpster" or "roll-off container," on or along any street, highway or public property within the Township of Middle without first obtaining a dumpster permit from either Construction or Zoning offices. The Township of Middle may only issue permits for streets, highways, or public property which are under the jurisdiction of the Township.
B. 
The application forms for a permit to place a roll-off dumpster or roll-off container upon a street, highway or public property within the Township of Middle shall be signed by the owner of the property adjacent to the street, highway or public property on which the roll-off dumpster or roll-off container is to be placed, and permits, when issued by the Zoning or Construction official, shall only be issued in the name of the property owner and shall be displayed prominently by the permittee upon the private property adjacent to the public property upon which the roll-off dumpster or roll-off container is placed. The Zoning or Construction official shall provide copies of any permits that are issued pursuant to this section to the Middle Township Police Department and Code Enforcement Officials.
A. 
Consistent with N.J.S.A. 27:51-1, approval for placement of a roll-off dumpster or roll-off container upon a street, highway or public property shall remain in effect for a period of not more than 30 days. Prior to expiration of an initial thirty-day approval, a thirty-day permit may be endorsed for a thirty-day renewal period by the Zoning or Construction official one time only without charge to the applicant.
B. 
Fees:
(1) 
One-day permit: $50.
(2) 
Seven-day permit: $150.
(3) 
Thirty-day permit: $250.
C. 
Only those permits taken out for a thirty-day period shall be eligible for the additional thirty-day renewal period as outlined in Subsection A of this section. One-day permits and seven-day permits shall not be eligible for any period of renewal.
D. 
Dumpsters on a residential property that is not under construction do not require a permit; however, the dumpster shall not be present for longer than 45 days from the date of the placement of the dumpster on the property.
The property owner shall make every effort to place the roll-off dumpsters or roll-off containers on private property rather than on streets, highways or public property. In such cases where the only practical location of a roll-off dumpster or a roll-off container is on a street, highway or public property, the property owner shall submit with the permit application a plan that shows where the roll-off dumpster or roll-off container is to be located, depicting driveways, intersections and property lines, and the roll-off dumpster or roll-off container shall have its wheels or skids, as the case may be, placed on timber material having minimum dimensions of not less than two inches thick by 12 inches wide by 48 inches long, so as to provide protection to the surface of the street, highway or public property upon which the roll-off dumpster or roll-off container is to be placed.
A. 
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter and/or preempted by state or federal rules and regulations, maintenance of portable waste or refuse containers shall be governed by Chapter 129 of the Middle Township Code.
B. 
Dumpsters and debris containers are required upon construction sites. All construction sites upon which construction or demolition activities thereon will generate any debris or solid waste shall be equipped with adequate and suitable receptacles, containers or dumpsters for the deposit of such debris or solid waste.
C. 
Containers to be emptied periodically. Debris containers, receptacles or dumpsters located upon construction sites shall be emptied at periodic intervals so as to prevent overloading, the escape of materials contained therein and so as to prevent obnoxious odors or nuisances of any type escaping therefrom during the period when construction or demolition activities are taking place upon the construction site.
D. 
Placement upon construction site. To the extent possible, debris containers, receptacles and dumpster shall be located completely on construction sites rather than on streets, highways or public property; however, to the extent that they cannot be so located, then their placement and the permits therefore shall be governed by the provisions of § 129-7 of the Code of the Township of Middle.
E. 
Consistent with N.J.S.A. 27:51-1, in all cases where a roll-off dumpster or roll-off container is to be placed upon a street, highway or public property, the roll-off dumpster or roll-off container shall be equipped with and display markers consisting of all-yellow reflective diamond-shaped panels having a minimum size of 18 inches by 18 inches. These panels shall be mounted at the edge of the dumpster or container at both ends nearest the path of passing vehicles and facing the direction of oncoming traffic. These markers shall have a minimum mounting height of three feet from the bottom of the panels to the surface of the roadway. At the end of each workday or during any prolonged period of time when not in use, the roll-off dumpster or roll-off container shall be covered with a tarpaulin or other industry-acceptable material.
No person shall purposely, knowingly, recklessly or negligently damage any street, highway or public property or allow damage to be caused to any street, highway or public property by the placement of a roll-off dumpster or roll-off container upon a street, highway or public property. It shall be no defense to a prosecution for an offense under this section that a permit for placement of a roll-off dumpster or roll-off container was obtained from the Zoning or Construction official or that timber material had been placed under the wheels or skids of the roll-off dumpster or roll-off container as required by this Chapter, it being the responsibility of the property owner to provide for further protective measures to the street, highway or public property if the timber material required by this chapter proves to be insufficient to adequately protect the street, highway or public property from damage by reason of the weight of the roll-off dumpster or roll-off container or any other factor or cause.
Notwithstanding the fact that a permit for placement of a roll-off dumpster or roll-off container may have been issued by the Zoning or Construction official, nothing contained in this chapter shall be interpreted as or deemed as precluding the Middle Township Chief of Police, Middle Township Fire Chief, or Code Enforcement Official from ordering the temporary removal of any roll-off dumpster or roll-off container that has been placed upon a street, highway or public property for reasons of traffic safety or public safety.
