(A) For the service of collecting and disposing of refuse, the owner or occupant of all premises from which refuse is collected by the town or the town’s contractor shall be charged rates as may be established, from time to time, by the Board of Commissioners on recommendation of the Town Manager. The charges shall be considered a debt owing to the town from the owner or occupant of the premises and other persons using the disposal area. No owner or occupants of premises within the town limits receiving water, sewer or both services shall be exempt from the collection and disposal service provided by the town or by individual collectors and licensees. Fees for the collection and disposal of refuse by the town shall be charged to the owner or occupant of all premises, in the amount specified in the fee schedule.
(B) The collection fee will be billed in the same manner as water and wastewater services. Per G.S. 160A-314(b), payment made to this cumulative water, wastewater and solid waste bill will first be applied to outstanding solid waste collection fees. Payment will be applied to water and wastewater charges only after the collection fee is paid in total.
