§ 51.15 REFUSE COLLECTOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS.
   (A)   Charges. Each refuse collector shall pay all charges imposed by § 51.09, all charges for disposal rights awarded to the refuse collector or assigned to the refuse collector pursuant to this subchapter or regulations adopted pursuant thereto, and the license fee imposed by § 51.11, and shall comply with all other requirements of this subchapter and such regulations.
   (B)   Recyclable materials. Each refuse collector shall collect recyclable materials from each of its customers in the manner specified in this subchapter. Any refuse collector who has reason to believe that a person from whom it collects solid waste has discarded recyclable material with such solid waste in violation of this subchapter shall promptly notify the Director of the alleged violation. Upon the request of the Director, a collector shall provide a warning notice, by tag or other means, to any person suspected by the collector or the Director of violating separation requirements. A collector shall also assist the town to identify any person responsible for creating loads containing significant quantities of recyclable materials mixed with solid waste.
   (C)   Construction and maintenance of vehicles and containers. All vehicles registered to collect and transport refuse shall be maintained free of obnoxious odors and accumulated refuse. Any such vehicle shall be of a closed construction. A container utilized primarily for non-liquid refuse need not be of watertight construction, but shall be completely enclosed.
   (D)   Delinquent customers. A refuse collector may refuse to provide collection service to any customer who is more than 30 days delinquent in the payment of the refuse collector’s fee. If the delinquent customer shall discharge its delinquency, the refuse collector shall immediately restore collection services to the customer.
   (E)   Responsibility to provide service; refusal to provide. Refuse collectors are hereby made jointly responsible for providing collection service to any resident of the town. If any commercial, industrial or condominium customer of the town shall be refused collection services without reasonable grounds or is dissatisfied with collection service, the customer may make application to the Director, who shall have the right to direct said collector to provide service or who shall have the right to designate another licensed refuse collector to provide refuse collection service and the collector so selected shall comply with the Director’s designation. In making such designation, the Director shall give primary consideration to those collectors who service customers in the same or a contiguous locality.
   (F)   Designation of collector to provide service. In the event refuse collection service is not provided, the Director shall designate a licensed refuse collector or collectors to provide refuse collection service in the geographical area affected, and such collector or collectors shall comply with the Director’s designation.
   (G)   Customers’ containers. Refuse collectors shall leave their customers’ containers in a neat, upright position and off the road.
   (H)   Spilled refuse. Refuse collectors shall clean up refuse that may have spilled when carrying or transferring refuse.
   (I)   List of rates. Each refuse collector shall furnish to its customers, upon request, a list of rates for the various services provided.
