40:67-23.1. Road, street services
1. a. The governing body of every municipality may make, amend, repeal and enforce ordinances to cause the governing body of the municipality to repair and maintain and provide for the removal of snow, ice and other obstructions from, and provide for the lighting of, any roads or streets upon which the travel is sufficient, in the opinion of said governing body, to warrant such expenditures, even though such roads or streets shall not have been taken over by said municipal governing body or dedicated and accepted as public highways. The municipality may also provide for the curbside collection of solid waste along such streets, or for the reimbursement of such solid waste collection costs as the municipality may determine to have been reasonably incurred by persons residing adjacent to such streets. Roads or streets so serviced, which are not shown on the official map of the municipality, may, at the option of the governing body of said municipality, be suitably improved in accordance with any requirements established pursuant to article 5 of the "Municipal Land Use Law," P.L.1975, c.291, ss. 23-27 (C.40:55D-32 to C.40:55D-36) and the ordinance.
b. A municipal governing body that provides for the curbside collection of solid waste pursuant to subsection a. of this section may limit these services to specified operating hours in order to preserve the peace and quiet in neighborhoods during the hours when most residents are asleep.
c. A municipal governing body that provides for the collection of designated recyclable materials pursuant to subsection b. of section 6 of P.L.1987, c.102 (C.13:1E-99.16) may limit these services to specified operating hours in order to preserve the peace and quiet in neighborhoods during the hours when most residents are asleep.
d. If, as a condition of providing services for any road or street proposed to be serviced, the municipality notifies the owner that dedication thereof to the municipality is required, the owner may refuse to accept the services and benefits of the ordinance upon that condition by so notifying the municipality within 60 days of receipt of the notice. With respect to any road or street for which services are provided, if the municipality notifies the owner that continuation of provision of the services is conditioned upon the dedication thereof to the municipality, the owner may refuse to accept continuance of the services and benefits of the ordinance upon that condition by so notifying the municipality within 60 days of receipt of the notice. Notices to be given pursuant to this section shall be in writing.
