(a) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, all households in the Municipality shall be provided with refuse collection services and shall be billed at the rates provided in Section 953.07. Each person billed for refuse collection service shall be liable for such charge, whether or not he or she utilizes the refuse collection service provided.
(b) Charges by the Municipality for refuse collection service shall be rendered and collected monthly. The collection agent or department for such monthly charges shall be designated by the Manager. The charges for such refuse collection shall be paid at the same time as charges for water service and for the sanitary sewerage system.
(c) The net amount of the bill for refuse collection shall be due as of the date stamped on the bill. If such bill is not paid on or before such date, a ten percent (10%) penalty shall be assessed.
(d) Any account that is established with the Municipality for refuse service shall be in the name of the property owner who shall be responsible for the payment of refuse charges, provided, however, that any account in the name of a tenant may continue until the tenancy terminates and the tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any refuse charges. The property owner, may upon written approval and authorization of both the owner and tenant, have the refuse collection account transferred to the name of the tenant.
(Ord. 93-04. Passed 2-1-93.)
(e) Any unpaid charges accrued for refuse collection shall be treated as otherwise provided in the case of unpaid delinquent water and sewer charges and shall be placed on the tax duplicate of the County, along with interest and penalties allowed by law. This charge, including interest and penalties, shall be collected as other taxes are collected.
