JACKSON TOWNSHIP, NJ – For years, several residents in Jackson have complained to township officials over the long-term use of large construction dumpsters in residential neighborhoods. Now, the township council has passed an ordinance requiring homeowners to get a township-issued permit for the placement and use of construction containers.

According to the ordinance, construction containers are not permitted on any property located within the township unless the owner submits an application for a construction permit through the municipal zoning officer.
A maximum of two construction containers are permitted per residential address. Legally permitted containers must be placed on improved surfaces only, such as paved driveways, gravel driveways, and pavers. No containers can be placed in the street or in the public right-of-way.
Violators of this ordinance can be fined up to $2,000. The township says the ordinance is meant to crack down on illegal construction within the community.
