A. Collection Charges: Solid waste collection charges shall be included on the regular city utility bill. The charges shall be paid at the same time and in the same manner as other utility charges are paid, and all rules and regulations governing the collection of utility bills shall apply in every particular in the collection of solid waste service bills.
B. Partial Payment: Any payment received for city utility charges in an amount less than the total billed shall be treated as a partial payment for each such charge and the amount received shall be allocated to the separate accounts in the same ratio as each such charge bears to the whole of the bill.
C. Extra Charges: The charges for the collection of solid waste resulting from the normal use of a premises shall not be construed as preventing the city from imposing reasonable extra charges for the removal of excessive amounts of solid waste.
D. Exempt Premises: Any person who does not have or produce solid waste on any premises used by him/her, for other than residential purposes and which are not inhabited by an occupant, may file with the public works director an affidavit to that effect. Upon review of the affidavit and inspection of the premises, the public works director may approve or disapprove the affidavit. Upon approval, the premises shall be exempt from any charge for garbage collection. Whenever any person who has previously filed any such affidavit shall commence to produce any solid waste on such premises, he/she shall immediately notify the public works director. The filing of a false affidavit or the failure to notify the public works director of the fact that solid waste is being produced, shall constitute a misdemeanor, and no affidavit so filed shall operate or be effective to exempt any premises for solid waste collection charges.
