Fair Lawn divides the Borough into five collection sections with specific weekly garbage pickup days, requiring residents to package waste in 50-pound limits and follow Cali Carting's collection schedule under Chapter 204.
Under Chapter 204, Article I (Solid Waste), garbage must be drained of liquids and securely wrapped in paper or plastic before being placed in receptacles. Each refuse package or container is limited to 50 pounds. The Borough is split into five geographic sections, each with assigned collection days serviced by the Borough's contracted hauler. Small amounts of construction debris (up to four 32-gallon containers, each under 40 pounds) may be collected on garbage day. The Health Officer enforces the article, and may delegate to the Code Enforcement Officer, Borough Sanitarian, or Recycling Coordinator.
Improperly packaged or overweight refuse may be left at the curb and the resident may face fines under the chapter's penalty provisions.
