Editor's Note: This ordinance also repealed former Art. I, Recycling, adopted 3-15-1995 by Ord. No. 1995-4, as amended.
The Township finds that reducing the amount of solid waste and conservation of recyclable materials is an important public concern and is necessary to implement the requirements of the SWMA and the county plan. The recycling of certain materials from the residential, commercial and institutional establishments conserves existing landfill capacity, facilitates the implementation and operation of other forms of resource recovery and conserves natural resources through reduced energy consumption and reduced water and air pollution, as well as reduces the demand on raw material extraction.
