The Borough Council makes the following findings:
A. The deposit and accumulation of grass clippings, leaves and other yard waste upon and into the streets of the Borough have created a public problem by increasing the amount of waste and debris in the streets making the Borough less visually attractive and increasing pollution and run-off into the Borough storm sewers; and
B. The Borough is currently incurring great expenses for storm water drainage and does not wish for its new infrastructure investment to be degraded by run-off of yard waste; and
C. A significant portion of the run-off and debris in the streets results from persons intentionally dumping or placing grass clippings, leaves and yard waste in the Borough Streets; and
D. That an ordinance is required to remediate the problems identified herein and such ordinance is in the best interest of the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Borough.
