A refuse collection fee will be levied on all commercial enterprises, nonprofit organizations, government units and/or government supported units, and the like, which utilize city collection services as described in this subchapter. Fees shall be levied as follows:
(A) For the use of standard garbage containers the fee will be the same as that established for residential users under § 50.08.
(B) The fee for collection of front-loading containers is based on the cubic yardage capacity of the container per pickup. The fee is a set amount per cubic yard per pickup and shall be established by the City Council as a part of the budget for each fiscal year's operation.
(C) Where commercial refuse service is rendered to apartment complexes, and each apartment unit is individually metered to determine water consumption and corresponding sanitary sewer charges, the fee for refuse service will be charged against the agent responsible for the utility account, as delineated in § 50.08, and subsequently no fee will be assessed for the emptying of the commercial container.
(D) Subject to the hearing requirements set forth in § 53.42, failure to make payment of the collection fee within 20 days after the postmark date of the bill shall result in severance of utility services provided by the city, including water and sewer, and shall be subject to all reinstatement charges as provided for in Chapter 53 of this Code of Ordinances.
(E) Commercial bin dumpsters of four, six, and eight cubic yard volumes may be leased from the city upon availability. Fees for the lease of these dumpsters will be set by Council resolution.
