A.
Any application to the Planning Board of the Borough
of Madison for subdivision or site plan approval for the construction
of multifamily dwellings of three or more units, single-family developments
of 50 or more units or any commercial, institutional, or industrial
development for the utilization of 1,000 square feet or more of land
must include a recycling plan. This plan must contain, at a minimum,
the following:
(1)
A detailed analysis of the expected composition and
amounts of solid waste and recyclables generated at the proposed development;
and
(2)
Locations documented on the application's site plan
that provide for convenient recycling opportunities for all owners,
tenants, and occupants. The recycling area shall be of sufficient
size, convenient location and contain other attributes (signage, lighting,
fencing, etc.) as may be determined by the municipal recycling coordinator.
B.
Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy
by the Borough of Madison, the owner of any new multifamily housing
or commercial, institutional, or industrial development must supply
a copy of a duly executed contract with a hauling company for the
purposes of collection and recycling of source-separated recyclable
materials in those instances where the municipality does not otherwise
provide this service.
C.
Provision shall be made for the indoor, or enclosed
outdoor, storage and pickup of solid waste, to be approved by the
Municipal Engineer.
A.
It shall be unlawful for solid waste collectors to
collect solid waste that is mixed with, or contains visible signs
of, designated recyclable materials. It is also unlawful for solid
waste collectors to remove for disposal those bags or containers of
solid waste which visibly display a warning notice sticker or some
other device indicating that the load of solid waste contains designated
recyclable materials.
B.
It shall be the responsibility of the resident or
occupant to properly segregate the uncollected solid waste for proper
disposal or recycling. Allowing such unseparated solid waste and recyclables
to accumulate will be considered a violation of this chapter and the
local sanitary code.

Once placed in the location identified by this chapter,
or any rules or regulations promulgated pursuant to this chapter,
no person, other than those authorized by the municipality, shall
tamper with, collect, remove, or otherwise handle designated recyclable
materials.
