No person, firm, corporation or other entity shall place any liquid waste, hazardous materials, oil or infectious waste in containers within the city which are to be transported to a landfill, no matter where the landfill is. In the event any person, firm, corporation or other entity shall place any such material in a container or containers which are to be transported to a landfill, he, she or it shall forthwith pay to the city a fee equal to one and one-half times the actual cost to the city, its heirs, successors or assigns, or a landfill, to correct the situation created thereby, including but not limited to the costs of isolating the area, removing the material, rehabilitating the disposal site, opening a new disposal site on the landfill as necessitated by the presence of such material, and technical and professional costs including but not limited to testing, engineering, investigation and legal fees and charges. The city shall not be responsible for the proper disposal of such materials; however, if the city should arrange for such disposal, the costs thereof shall be included in the above-listed costs. Infectious waste which has been treated to remove its infectious potential in such a manner acceptable to the director or board overseeing the particular landfill the city, its heirs, successors or assigns, is using at the particular time, may be placed for disposal provided the site manager is informed of its presence at the time of entry upon the landfill.
