[Adopted 9-19-2005 by Ord. No. 24-2005]
The purpose of this article is to establish requirements for
the proper disposal of pet solid waste in the Township of Livingston
so as to protect public health, safety and welfare.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Pet solid waste is removed at once, without delay.
Any person who shall possess, maintain, house or harbor any
pet or otherwise have custody of any pet, whether or not the owner
of such pet.
Any individual, corporation, company, partnership, firm,
association, or political subdivision of this state subject to municipal
jurisdiction.
A domesticated animal (other than a disability assistance
animal) kept for amusement of companionship.
Waste matter expelled from the bowels of the pet; excrement.
Placement in a designated waste receptacle, or other suitable
container, and discarded in a refuse container which is regularly
emptied by the municipality or some other refuse collector; or disposal
into a system designed to convey domestic sewage for proper treatment
and disposal.
All pet owners and keepers are required to immediately and properly
dispose of the pet's solid waste deposited on any property, public
or private, not owned or possessed by that person.
Any owner or keeper who requires the use of a disability assistance
animal shall be exempt from the provisions of this article while such
animal is being used for that purpose.
Unless another penalty is expressly provided herein, any person
who violates any provision of this article shall, upon conviction
thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding $500, or by imprisonment
for a term not exceeding 90 days, or both. A separate offense shall
be deemed committed on each day during or on which a violation occurs
or continues.
