The Town Council shall at all times exercise supervision over the collection of garbage and refuse through the Street Superintendent or such other person as it may appoint. The Council is empowered to enter into contracts and agreements with a private garbage collector and make any necessary rules, having due regard for the public health, appearance and sanitary conditions of the town. Owners of commercial and industrial properties are permitted to employ any garbage and refuse collector of their choosing; however, all residential garbage and refuse removal shall be under the supervision of the Town Council and all residential property owners or tenants shall be assessed charges for their services. Each user will be deemed to be residential based upon the rate classification adopted by the water and electric utilities, and the charges shall be included on the water and/or electric utility bill sent to the user. This section shall not apply to tenants of multi-family dwellings as addressed in § 50.06 of this chapter unless the municipal trash service is utilized.
