(A) Service suspension. In addition to any late payment fees and collection costs assessed by the town, if the Town Manager (or if generally unavailable, the Clerk-Treasurer) has reasonable suspicion to believe that a material violation of this chapter has occurred, he or she may authorize and/or direct the contractor to confiscate the respective residence container and/or to not collect the garbage at that residence until the Town Manager receives satisfactory assurances that the circumstances leading to the violation have been abated.
(B) Extraneous claims barred. No owner shall have recourse against the town, the Town Council, the Town Manager, the Clerk-Treasurer, the contractor, or their respective agents to the extent the contractor has not collected garbage from a residence because the container was not timely placed curbside, because the owner violated this chapter or other applicable law or rules, or because the Town Manager or Clerk-Treasurer directed the contractor not to collect the garbage from the unit.
(C) Continuing liability. If the contractor does not collect the garbage of an owner pursuant to a violation of this chapter, the owner remains liable for any public nuisance created by the uncollected garbage and remains liable for payment of the utility bill.
