A.
Commercial establishments.
(1)
The owner, agent, lessee or tenant of any commercial
establishment which provides food and drinks for consumption off premises,
including packaged candies and snack items, shall provide a suitable litter
receptacle for use by its customers. This litter receptacle shall be placed
inside the establishment at each exit or adjacent thereto. The litter receptacle
shall be present at all times that the establishment is open for business.
The receptacle shall be of suitable height and capacity for the waste generated
by the patrons of the establishment and should be appropriately identified
as a litter receptacle. The owner, agent, lessee or tenant is responsible
for disposing of the litter placed in the receptacle and for removing all
litter on the sidewalk and at the curb in front of the establishment.
(2)
The term "food" cited above includes any raw, cooked
or processed edible substances, water, ice, beverage or ingredient used or
intended for use or for sale in whole or in part for human consumption.
(3)
All litter receptacles shall be clearly identifiable,
have a lid to prevent spillage of litter placed within them and be maintained
in a sanitary manner.
B.
Special events. Sponsors of special events such as parades,
carnivals, circuses and festivals shall be responsible for providing an adequate
number of litter receptacles to handle the litter generated by patrons of
said event.
C.
Public litter receptacles. Along sidewalks used by pedestrians
in active commercially zoned areas, there shall be a minimum of one litter
receptacle for every single linear quarter-mile. These receptacles shall be
owned and maintained by the Borough.
Persons placing litter in public receptacles or in authorized private
receptacles shall do so in a manner so as to prevent it from being carried
or deposited by the elements upon any street, sidewalk, waterway, park or
public place, playground or other facility owned by the Borough.
The Police Department and Health Department of the Borough of Netcong
shall enforce this article.
