(A) Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to protect the public health and welfare by assuring the timely and lawful collection of solid waste from owners of private property within the township; to implement well articulated public policies regarding the recycling and composting of certain portions of the wastestream and collection thereof; and to provide for a reasonable system of user fees to defray the costs incurred by the township in administering the system.
(B) Findings. The Board of Trustees of the township finds that regulation of the collection and disposal of solid waste is necessary to protect the public health and safety; that, under current circumstances, it is feasible to implement curbside pickup and disposal of residential recyclable materials, compostables and solid waste and that such implementation will be most efficiently accomplished by the township entering into a contract for provisions of services; and that, at this time, it is not feasible to require separation of recyclable materials and compostables from other solid waste for persons using commercial receptacles for collection of their solid waste.
