(A) Fees are charged by the town on a monthly basis to all improved properties within the town for the provision, or offer to provide, once-per-week solid waste collection and disposal service. The appropriate monthly fee shall be charged to the customer in conjunction with the Municipal Utility Account. Persons or properties not associated with a Municipal Utility Account may be provided solid waste services via a special contract and fee. The Town Council shall have the authority to establish rates for the management of solid waste, and to change the rates as necessary to meet solid waste collection and disposal costs. The town offers solid waste collection service to all improved properties within the corporate limits on a weekly basis, and all such properties shall be charged the established monthly fees regardless of whether or not the customer chooses to take advantage of the service. Non-utility account customers may be permitted to gain use of the Convenience Center at the sole discretion of the town per the appropriate fee schedule. All fees shall be published on the Fee Schedule as adopted by the Town Council from time to time.
(B) Additional charges, rates and both rental and lease fees for solid waste services may be levied by any person, firm or corporation to which a franchise for solid waste collection service has been granted by the Town Council. Any such charges, rates and fees must be expressly approved by the franchise ordinance.
(1) The town may remove, or cause to be removed, any litter, debris or solid waste deposited in violation of this chapter, § 94.02 of this Code of Ordinances, or state law.
(2) Any person who violates this chapter, § 94.02 of this Code of Ordinances, or state law regarding littering or dumping shall be subject to a fee in the amount of the current rate for a special sanitation collection or the actual cost of the removal, in addition to any other applicable penalties, as set forth on the town Fee Schedule.
