Full Breakdown
Under the Township's noise ordinance, loading, unloading, opening or otherwise handling boxes, crates, containers, garbage cans or similar objects between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. the following day is a specific prohibited noise disturbance. The rule targets the manner of the activity, it applies when the handling causes a noise disturbance, not to quiet daytime deliveries. The Police Department enforces it under the chapter's general noise powers and may issue a summons or a 24-hour written notice to abate before a violation is charged.
Violations & Fines
Violation of the noise chapter is cause for a summons and complaint; for a non-vehicle noise source, police may first issue a 24-hour written notice to abate, and ignoring that notice is itself a separate violation.
