[Adopted 7-8-1976 as Section 10-7 of the Revised General Ordinances of 1975]
It is found by the Mayor and Council that conservation of recycling materials has become and important public concern in improving our environment, and the growing problem of solid waste disposal has shown the increasing necessity to conserve our natural resources. It is further a finding that the Board of Chosen Freeholders has advised that, because of the lack of space at the county sanitary landfill areas under their jurisdiction and control, after April 1, 1975, the acceptance of newspaper at any county sanitary landfill area as part of refuse delivered for disposal will be prohibited. It is further a finding that the separation of newspaper and magazines from refuse is in the best interest of the borough and promotes the general welfare.

All owners, lessees or occupants of dwelling units or commercial establishments shall be required from May 22, 1975, to separate from their garbage all newspapers and magazines, which shall be picked up and disposed of separately by employees of the borough or such other persons or organizations who may be duly authorized by the borough; the time and day of such pickups and all other rules and regulations not included herein shall be determined by resolution of the Mayor and Council.
