Exemptions. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.16d, the governing body
of a municipality may exempt persons occupying commercial or institutional
premises within its municipal boundaries from the source separation
requirements of the ordinance which requires persons generating municipal
solid waste within its municipal boundaries to source-separate, from
the municipal solid waste stream, the specified recyclable materials
if those persons have otherwise provided for the recycling of all
designated recyclable materials. To be eligible for an exemption pursuant
to this article, a commercial or institutional generator of solid
waste shall file an application for exemption with the Municipal Recycling
Coordinator on forms to be provided for this purpose. The form shall
include, at a minimum, the following information: the name of the
commercial or institutional entity; the street address location and
lot and block designation; the name, official title and phone number
of the person making application on behalf of the commercial or institutional
entity; the name, address, official contact person and telephone number
of the facility which provides the service of recycling those designated
recyclable materials, and a certification that the designated recyclable
materials will be recycled, and that, at least on an annual basis,
said recycling service provider or commercial/institutional generator
shall provide written documentation to the Municipal Recycling Coordinator
of the total number of tons collected and recycled for each designated
material.
