[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Committee
of the Township of Montville by Ord. No. 1308 as Ch. 8.16 of the 1998 Code. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
A.
No person shall park or leave unattended any waste or refuse container, commonly known as a "roll-off dumpster" or "roll-off container," on or along any highway, traveled roadway or dedicated roadway without a permit. The permit shall be issued by the Traffic Safety Officer. The fee for the permit is set forth in Chapter 169, Fee Schedule. The permit shall be valid and remain in effect for a period of seven days and renewed for like periods not to exceed a total of 28 days.[1]
B.
The applicant assumes full responsibility for the
integrity of the roadway upon which the dumpster or container is placed
and agrees to repair and/or restore the roadway and the public right-of-way
to its original condition should the dumpster or container cause any
damage.
A permit shall not be issued until the applicant
has provided the Township with a clear identification on the anticipated
location of the dumpster and has posted a bond, letter of credit or
cash security with the Township in the amount of $1,000 for the assurance
of removal or any restoration of the street, curb or surrounding area
in the public right-of-way that may be damaged by the presence of
the dumpster or container.
In the event that a permit is issued for a dumpster
to be placed on a public highway, to warn the operators of vehicles
of the presence of a traffic hazard requiring the exercise of unusual
care, any roll-off dumpster or roll-off container parked on or along
any highway shall be equipped with and display markers consisting
of all yellow reflective diamond-shaped panels having a minimum size
of 18 inches by 18 inches. These panels shall be mounted at the edge
of the dumpster or container at both ends nearest the path of passing
vehicles and facing the direction of oncoming traffic. These markers
shall have a minimum mounting height of three feet from the bottom
of the panels to the surface of the roadway.
Notwithstanding any provision in this chapter
to the contrary, no permit shall issue for an overnight dumpster on
streets enumerated in § 10.20.070 of the Montville Township
Code nor shall they be placed on any public roadway where the width
of road passage is less than 15 feet.
If the roll-off dumpster or container is not
removed when the same is requested or if a permit is not obtained
and the condition is considered emergent, the dumpster or container
will be removed by the Township of Montville and processed by any
of the affected government entities at the expense of the applicant.
