The purpose of this article is to establish requirements for
the proper disposal of animal solid waste, including pet solid waste,
in the Borough of Roselle, so as to protect public health, safety
and welfare, and to prescribe penalties for failure to comply.
For the purpose of this article, the following terms, phrases,
words, and their derivations shall have the meanings stated herein
unless their use in the text of this chapter clearly demonstrates
a different meaning. When not inconsistent with the context, words
used in the present tense include the future, words used in the plural
number include the singular number, and words used in the singular
number include the plural number. The word "shall" is always mandatory
and not merely directory.
The animal solid waste is removed at once, without delay.
Any person who shall possess, maintain, house, or harbor
any animal, including pets, or otherwise have custody of any animal
or pet, whether or not he is 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 or companionship.
Waste matter expelled from the bowels of an animal, including
pets; excrement; manure.
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. Manure shall not be conveyed through the streets of
this Borough unless the same is fully covered with a tarpaulin or
other suitable covering.
All animal or pet owners and keepers are required to immediately
and properly dispose of their animal's or pet's solid waste
deposited on any property, public or private, not owned or possessed
by that person.
Manure or pet waste shall not be stored or allowed to accumulate
on any premises in such a manner as to create a nuisance or breed
flies.
Any owner or keeper who requires the use of a disability assistance
animal shall be exempt from the provisions of this section while such
animal is being used for that purpose.
The provisions of this article shall be enforced by the Health
Officer.
Any person who violates or refuses to comply with the provisions
of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine
of not more than $1,000 or to imprisonment in the county jail for
not more than 90 days, or both, but in no event less than $50 for
the first offense, $250 for the second and $750 for the third or subsequent
offense.
