(a) Every person in the City who has the occupancy, charge or control of any place or premises, within the City where any ordinary household garbage, solid waste, recyclables or organic waste accumulate or may accumulate, shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the City or its agent a charge in such amounts and in such manner as shall be established by the City for the service of having such ordinary household garbage, solid waste, recyclables or organic waste, collected and removed from the place or premises by the exclusive contractor. In the case of residential and commercial rental units, the property owner of record ultimately shall be responsible for such charge.
(b) Nothing in this Section is intended to prevent an arrangement, or the continuance of an existing arrangement, under which payments of refuse collection fees are made by a tenant or tenants, or any agent, on behalf of the owner. However, any such arrangement will not affect the property owner’s obligation to the contractor.
(c) All fees for service shall be proposed by the contractor and approved by the City Council by resolution. Fees shall be based on the type of occupancy or use of the place or premises.
(d) All fees (and any penalty) for collection services shall be billed and collected in accordance with rules and regulations proposed by the contractor and established and adopted by the City Council. The City Council may collect residential fees on the tax roll pursuant to Section 6.01.110.
