Ordinance No. 882: Amendment to Waste Collection Rules in Hollidaysburg This ordinance amends Section 132 of the Hollidaysburg Borough Code, specifically regarding municipal waste and recyclables collection from commercial establishments. Key Changes to Collection Rules The ordinance updates two specific subsections of Section 132: Municipal Waste (Section 132(4)): Haulers must collect waste from commercial establishments at least once every week. More frequent collection is required if necessary to control health hazards or prevent nuisances (odor, unsightly appearance). Collection is permitted only from Sunday through Saturday between 5:00 am and 10:00 pm. Recyclables (Section 132(6)): Haulers must collect recyclables from commercial establishments at least once every other week. More frequent collection is required if necessary to control health hazards or prevent nuisances. Collection is permitted only from Sunday through Saturday between 5:00 am and 10:00 pm. Background and Intent The changes were implemented based on complaints from citizens, known existing practices by haulers, and the experience of the Borough Council. The goal is to address issues related to the days and hours of permitted collection. Legal Provisions Severability: If any part of the ordinance is found unconstitutional or invalid, the rest of the ordinance remains in effect. Repeal: All other ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent with this one are repealed. Effectiveness: The ordinance becomes effective on the earliest date provided by law.
