Article II Use of Convenience Center
Chapter 341 Solid Waste Article II Use of Convenience Center
Use of the Township Convenience Center shall be limited to the disposal of household waste by residents of the Township. Agricultural, commercial or industrial solid waste disposal at the Center shall not be permitted. Residents of apartment or condominium complexes shall not be permitted to dispose of solid waste at the Center, since such complexes have their own solid waste disposal and collection facilities on site.
No person shall dispose of solid waste at the Convenience Center which was generated and/or collected from other than a residential dwelling unit located in Upper Deerfield Township or which is other than household solid waste. For purposes of this section, "household solid waste" shall mean that waste generated within a residential dwelling unit and incidental to or resulting from such residential use of the property as set forth in § 341-18. The Township reserves the right to refuse to accept waste material considered other than household solid waste, including waste generated as a result of agricultural, commercial or industrial use or activity carried out in conjunction with the residential use of a structure or property.
Any vehicle used to transport or carry solid waste to the Convenience Center shall display a current Township-issued identification sticker. Said sticker shall be available to all residents of the Township not residing in an apartment or condominium complex. Issuance of use stickers shall be in accordance with rules and regulations as prescribed by resolution of the Township Committee.
Each residence or household shall, upon application and verification of residency in the Township, be entitled to one use sticker every two years at no charge. One additional sticker shall be available to each household upon application and payment of a fee of $10. Replacement stickers will be available upon application and payment of a fee of $10.
[Amended 6-15-1995 by Ord. No. 437; 5-5-2011 by Ord. No. 669]
No vehicle will be permitted to dispose of waste at the Convenience Center which does not display a valid use sticker affixed to the vehicle. Stickers shall be affixed to the vehicle and clearly visible to the Convenience Center attendant.[1]
Editor's Note: Former Subsections D, limiting disposal of trash to two trips per week, and E, regulating the amount of trash per trip, both added 6-15-1995 by Ord. No. 437, and which immediately followed this subsection, were repealed 9-7-1995 by Ord. No. 442.
Except as otherwise stated herein, no identification sticker shall be issued to any person or household unless the identification sticker is affixed to a vehicle which is registered under the laws of the State of New Jersey to an address within the Township of Upper Deerfield, not including an apartment or condominium complex. All persons applying for a Convenience Center identification sticker shall present evidence to the Township that any vehicle to which the identification sticker is to be affixed is validly registered to an address within the Township of Upper Deerfield sufficient to transport residential waste to the Convenience Center or owned by a resident with proof of residence at an address within the Township of Upper Deerfield. In the event that any bona fide resident of Upper Deerfield Township does not own a vehicle or who does not have available for his or her use a vehicle registered to an address in the Township of Upper Deerfield, such resident may make an application to the Upper Deerfield Township Committee for the issuance of a "hardship insignia" to be used on a vehicle registered to an address outside of the Township of Upper Deerfield for the sole purpose of transporting to and disposing at the Convenience Center, the residential waste from the residence in which the bona fide resident resides. The application for hardship insignia shall include:
[Added 3-6-2008 by Ord. No. 607; amended 8-7-2014 by Ord. No. 716]
Proof that applicant is a bona fide resident of Upper Deerfield Township.
A copy of the vehicle registration for the vehicle for which the insignia is applied.
The certification of the bona fide resident and the owner of the vehicle that the insignia will be utilized solely for the purpose of transporting and disposing of the residential waste from the residence of the bona fide resident at the Convenience Center and from no other source. In the event that Township Committee is satisfied in its sole discretion that 1) the applicant is a bona fide resident of Upper Deerfield Township; 2) that the applicant does not own a vehicle or does not have available for use a vehicle registered to an address in the Township of Upper Deerfield sufficient to transport residential waste to the Convenience Center; 3) that resident and owner of the vehicle will limit the use of the insignia to the disposal of waste from the bona fide resident's address; and 4) that a hardship to the bona fide resident will result in the absence of the issuance of an insignia, the Township Committee may in its discretion issue the hardship insignia. The Township Committee may revoke any insignia if it finds that the insignia has been used for the transportation and disposal at the Convenience Center of waste generated at a location other than that for which the insignia has been issued.
Temporary permission to use the Township Convenience Center on behalf of Township residents by persons acting through a power of attorney or on behalf of an estate of a Township resident shall be permitted, by application to the Township Administrator, for a period not to exceed six months, which period may be renewed by the Township Administrator for additional six-month extensions as the Township Administrator may deem appropriate.
