40:66-1. a. The governing body may provide for the cleaning of the streets of the municipality, and for the collection or disposal of solid waste, and may establish and operate a system therefor; purchase and operate the necessary equipment for the cleaning of streets, and for the collection or disposal of solid waste; make, amend, repeal and enforce all such ordinances, resolutions, rules and regulations as may be deemed necessary and proper for the introduction, operation and management of such system, and for the maintenance and operation of a solid waste facility, subject to the provisions of the "Solid Waste Management Act," P.L.1970, c.39 (C.13:1E-1 et seq.) and the "Solid Waste Utility Control Act," P.L.1970, c.40 (C.48:13A-1 et seq.), for the disposal of solid waste, and for the government of employees connected therewith.
b. A municipal governing body that establishes a system for the collection or disposal of solid waste pursuant to subsection a. of this section, in its discretion, may limit service furnished by it to curbside collection along public streets or roads that have been dedicated to and accepted by the municipality. The municipal governing body may also refuse to enter upon private property to remove solid waste from dumpsters or other solid waste containers. The municipal governing body, in its sole discretion, may choose to reimburse those property owners who do not receive the municipal service, but such reimbursement shall not exceed the cost that would be incurred by the municipality in providing the collection or disposal service directly. Nothing contained in this subsection shall be deemed to modify the provisions of P.L.1989, c.299 (C.40:67-23.2 et seq.) with respect to qualified private communities.
c. A municipal governing body that establishes a system for the collection of solid waste pursuant to subsection a. of this section may limit the municipal service furnished by it to specified operating hours in order to preserve the peace and quiet in neighborhoods during the hours when most residents are asleep.
d. A municipal governing body that adopts a recycling ordinance pursuant to subsection b. of section 6 of P.L.1987, c.102 (C.13:1E-99.16) may limit the collection of designated recyclable materials to specified operating hours in order to preserve the peace and quiet in neighborhoods during the hours when most residents are asleep.
Amended 1989, c.244, s.1; 1991, c.213; 1993, c.6, s.3; 2001, c.92, s.1.
