Phillipsburg, NJ: dumpster on the street

Phillipsburg, across the Delaware from Easton, bans dumpsters in the town right-of-way and in front yards. A special permit for the street exists only when the rear or side yard cannot take the box.

The rule, as written

Section 270-1: no dumpster in the town right-of-way and none in any front yard.
Section 270-3: special right-of-way permit when a rear, back or side yard is not possible.
Section 270-4: permit fee $15.
Section 270-5: fine of $20 per day until fixed.
Time limit: not stated in the chapter.

Order of steps

Plan for the back or side yard.
If neither works, apply to the Department of Public Services for the special right-of-way permit.
Pay the $15 fee.
Commercial properties need a dumpster permit even off the street, and the user must be registered with the town.
