All yard waste shall be separated by the owner or occupant from all other garbage and refuse accumulated on the premises and shall be composted on the premises or placed in degradable bags, containers or packages and set out for collection by a private hauler, or taken to the County Landfill.
All residential units within the City shall use the recycling containers furnished by the Solid Waste Management Commission, and shall deposit in the container those items listed by the Solid Waste Management Commission. The recycling containers will be placed at curb side along with their other solid waste containers, to be collected by licensed haulers having contracts with the City.
The collection and disposal of solid waste as provided by this chapter is declared to be beneficial to the property served or eligible to be served and there shall be levied and collected fees therefor in accordance with the following:
1. Schedule of Fees.

(Ord. 2008 - Sep. 20 Supp.)
2. Additional Fees. For every dollar of increase in tipping fees over $46.00 per ton charged by Carroll County Solid Waste Management Commission shall result in a $0.07 increase in the monthly rates listed as part of the Schedule of Fees in Section 106.12 (1).
(Ord. 1707 - Sep. 17 Supp.)
3. Fuel Surcharge. By the first working day of each calendar quarter (January, April, July, and October), if a collector of solid waste notifies the City to charge a fuel surcharge, the City shall add a fuel surcharge for that quarter to the monthly rates listed as part of the Schedule of Fees in Section 106.1(1). The fuel surcharge shall be equal to the current price of the Midwest Ultra Low Sulfur (15 ppm and Under) Diesel (MULSD) as published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration for the last month of the previous quarter (the October quarter shall be based on the monthly price of MULSD for September) minus $3.95 divided by 6.11. For example, if the price of MULSD was $5.460 in the month before the start of a quarter the surcharge shall be $5.460 minus $3.95 divided by 6.11 or a $0.25 fuel surcharge.
4. Billing. All fees are due and payable under the same terms and conditions provided for payment of a combined service account as contained in Section 92.06 of this Code of Ordinances. Solid waste collection service may be discontinued in accordance with the provisions contained in Section 92.07 if the combined service account becomes delinquent, and the provisions contained in Section 92.15 relating to lien notices shall also apply in the event of a delinquent account. In all cases where the unit or premises is served by City water, the charges shall be made against the person or owner in whose name the water meter is registered. Nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to mean that a residence not served by City water is exempt in any manner or way from the schedule of fees for the collection of disposable service.
(Ord. 2206 - Oct. 22 Supp.)
The owner of the premises served and any lessee or tenant thereof are jointly and severally liable for fees for solid waste collection and disposal. Fees remaining unpaid and delinquent shall constitute a lien upon the premises served and shall be certified by the Clerk to the County Treasurer for collection in the same manner as property taxes.
