(a) The fee for the collection and disposal of ashes, rubbish and garbage placed for collection at ground level and not more than ten feet distant from the side of the street, highway or alley, from which collection is made, shall be as provided from time to time by resolution of the Board of Commissioners.
(b) An account shall be due and payable by the owner of the real estate as provided for the payment of real estate taxes, and if the same is not paid within 60 days from the time of the delivery of the bill, the account shall be considered delinquent and the service of collection of ashes, rubbish and garbage shall be stopped without further notice.
(c) It shall be the duty of the Township Treasurer to forthwith notify the Township Secretary as to which bills for the collection of ashes, rubbish and garbage have not been paid, and the Township Secretary may certify to the person in charge of directing the collections that service on such delinquent accounts shall cease. Service shall be resumed thereafter only on payment of the annual collection charges, unless the Board of Township Commissioners specifically directs otherwise. The stoppage of service hereinbefore authorized for nonpayment of collection charges shall be in addition to the right of the township to proceed for the collection of such unpaid charges by an action in assumpsit or, at the election of the township, in any other manner provided by law.
