§ 235-16. Approval required for commercial and institutional exemptions.

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.16d, the governing body of the Borough may exempt persons occupying commercial or institutional premises within the Borough’s boundaries from the source-separation requirements of this chapter, which require persons generating Borough solid waste within its boundaries to source separate from the Borough’s solid waste stream the specified recyclable materials, but only if those persons have otherwise provided for the recycling of all designated recyclable materials. To be eligible for an exemption pursuant to this chapter, a commercial or institutional generator of solid waste shall file an application for exemption with the Borough Recycling Coordinator on forms to be provided for this purpose. The form shall include, at a minimum, the following information: the name of the commercial or institutional entity; the street address location and lot and block designation; the name, official title and phone number of the person making application on behalf of the commercial or institutional entity; the name, address, official contact person and telephone number of the facility which provides the service of recycling those designated recyclable materials, and a certification that the designated recyclable materials will be recycled, and that, at least on twice each year on or before June 30 and December 31, said recycling service provider or commercial/institutional generator shall provide written documentation to the Borough Recycling Coordinator of the total number of tons collected and recycled for each designated material.
