Pennsylvania Statutes Title 16 P.S. Counties § 5184. Unlawful disposal; dumping grounds

No municipality or person who transports garbage or who keeps, maintains or conducts a garbage disposal plant in the county shall throw, spread or deposit any garbage, offal, pomace, dead animals, decaying matter or organic waste substance of any kind in any ravine, ditch or gutter, on any street or highway, into any waters of the Commonwealth, or permit the same to remain exposed upon the surface of the ground.

No person or municipality shall use or permit his or its property or property occupied by him in the county to be used as a dumping ground or place of disposal for garbage or waste from any garbage disposal plant.

Nothing contained in this section, however, shall be construed so as to interfere with bona fide use of recognized fertilizers for legitimate agricultural purposes.
