(A) Each business required to procure a container. Every business, company, office, industry or other nonresidential generator of garbage or refuse shall obtain access to a container approved by the Town Manager or his or her designee. This requirement shall apply regardless of whether the nonresidential generator is a seasonal, part-time or temporary activity or operation.
(B) Joint use of a container. In accordance with established procedures, 2 or more nonresidential entities may, on a form furnished by the town, agree to jointly use a single container. The town will bill each user. The town will in no manner assume any role, responsibility or liability in the agreement between users.
(C) Unauthorized use of a joint container. No person or business entity shall use any container unless the user is a sole user or a joint user of the container as shown by the applicable joint user agreement. The Clerk shall maintain a file of joint user agreements and update the file as modified joint user agreements are submitted by the prime users. Unauthorized use of a container as specified in this section shall constitute a misdemeanor, punishable upon conviction by a fine not exceeding $50 or imprisonment not exceeding 30 days, as provided by G.S. § 14-4.
