[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough of Rutherford
Council 11-10-2008 by Ord. No. 3164-08. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The purpose of this chapter is to establish
requirements for the registration of landscapers and landscaping services
operating within the Borough of Rutherford and to assist the Borough
with its compliance with requirements of the Tier A Municipal Stormwater
General Permit NJPDES. The Borough Council of the Borough of Rutherford
finds that the registration of landscapers and landscaping services
provides a means for the timely notification of critical information
regarding the collection of yard waste, including leaves, in the Borough
to such services and to prescribe penalties for the failure to comply
with these requirements.
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Any individual person, partnership, firm, association, business
or legal entity which undertakes any of the following services as
a commercial undertaking for consideration: mowing of grass or lawns;
trimming or cutting of trees, bushes or shrubbery; restoration or
installation of lawns, grass, foliage, leaves or trees from a given
property; any and all services relating to the placing, installation,
care or cultivation of lawns, shrubbery, trees, foliage or other plant
life. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "commercial enterprise" shall
not be interpreted to include any resident of Rutherford who performs
only lawn-mowing services by virtue of a hand-operated mower on properties
within 10 blocks of his/her residence.
No person, partnership, firm, association, business
or legal entity shall engage in the business of landscaping without
registering and providing the Borough Clerk with proof of business
liability, motor vehicle and workers' compensation insurance, as applicable,
in the amount to be determined by the Borough.
Every registrant under this chapter shall sign
an application on forms furnished by the Borough Clerk.
The registration fee shall be $25, and no part
of said fee shall be prorated for any part of the year.
All landscapers shall provide for the removal
of lawn clippings and other landscaping debris and shall not leave
or deposit said debris at the curbside or any other site in the Borough
of Rutherford.
Any person or entity who violates any provision
of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine
not exceeding $1,000.
