[Adopted 10-10-1977 by Ord. No. 11-77 (Ch.
7, Art. III of the 1971 Code)]
The purpose of this article is to protect the
health, safety and welfare of all those frequenting this municipality.
Further, it is the purpose of this article to prevent the needless
health hazards and nuisances caused by dog feces upon public and private
property located within the Borough.
No person, agency or institution owning, harboring,
keeping or in charge of any dogs shall cause, suffer or allow such
dogs to soil, defile, defecate or commit any nuisance upon any public
or private property whatsoever, except with the express authority
or permission of the owner of said property. The restriction in this
section shall not apply to the portion of the street lying between
the curblines, or the curbline and the sidewalk, which may be used
to curb such dogs under the following conditions:
A.
Any person, agency or institution which owns a dog
within the Borough shall not permit such dog to be unattended within
the Borough and shall require that said dog be restrained by a leash
or other appropriate device which, for the purpose of this article,
shall be "curbing."
B.
Any person who so curbs a dog shall immediately remove
all feces deposited by such dog by any sanitary method approved by
the local Department of Health, and the same shall be deposited in
the owner's garbage or in some other sanitary manner approved by the
local Department of Health. The deposit shall be properly wrapped,
packaged or protected so as to prevent unsightly disposal or smell
or interference with the health and welfare of the community of the
Borough.
[Amended 2-10-1986 by Ord. No. 1986-2]
A.
Any person who has not been previously convicted of
a violation of this article may sign a waiver of trial and enter a

of a court appearance.
B.
Any person who has not been previously convicted of
a violation of this article shall be subject to a fine not exceeding
$25.
C.
Any person who has been previously convicted of violating
this article shall be subject to a fine not exceeding $200 or imprisonment
in the Burlington County Jail for a term not to exceed 30 days, or
