October 26, 197159 N.J. 348

The Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment for the plaintiffs, holding that the 1970 solid waste statutes (Chapter 39 and Chapter 40) fully preempt the Township of Parsippany‑Troy Hills' ordinance regulating sanitary landfills, and therefore the municipal ordinance is void.
