The screened refuse area shall not be located within any front yard area.

The refuse storage area shall be surrounded on three sides by a solid uniform fence or wall not less than five feet nor more than eight feet in height. Such fence shall be exempt from the provisions of any ordinance of the borough regulating the height of fences and requiring permits.

A five foot minimum width landscaping area shall be provided along the fence or wall enclosing the refuse storage area. The landscaping to be provided shall be shown on the site plan submitted for planning board approval.

The opening in the enclosed refuse area should be located to minimize the view of refuse from adjoining properties or public streets.

If located within or adjacent to a parking area or access drive, the enclosed refuse areas shall be separated from such parking area or access drive by curbing.

The enclosed refuse area shall not be located so as to interfere with traffic circulation or the parking of vehicles.

All refuse shall be deposited in containers maintained within the refuse area. No containers shall be maintained anywhere on a site except in a refuse area meeting these requirements.

If outdoor storage of solid waste is not proposed, the site plan submission shall detail the methods proposed for accommodating solid waste within the structure. The planning board may require that a suitable area be set aside, but not improved, for a future solid waste storage area meeting these requirements even if indoor accommodations for solid waste are proposed.

The containers maintained in the refuse area must have lids, which lids shall be kept closed except when refuse is being loaded or unloaded, and which lids shall secure tightly onto the container without any gaps providing access for rodents, insects and other vermin or animals.
